river access
Path to water
River access is a place where people can reach a river to launch boats, fish, swim, or wade.
Access points range from developed boat ramps with parking to informal paths through private or public land.
We paddled downstream to the next river access.
Legal river access can be contentious where waterways pass through private property.
