How Are The Access Roads?

[jdmidwest]

I know the one, just never knew it had a name.

The old road behind McCormack lake is forgotten by most. We use it as an access point for a quick float to Greer at 19. You need a 4wd to use it most of the time.

jd....how far is the float from that access to greer??? and, how far does the road go until it hits the river???

[jdmidwest]

The road goes almost to the river, close enough to carry the boat 20 feet down to the river. It is rutted and in bad shape, worse than the old cemetary road on the south side of 19 at the Greer access. That one used to be able to travel past the cemetary, but has grown up in years past. You can still walk it as a trail.

The float from Mc Cormack to Greer is short, only a few hours. We take it on afternoons in the summer, catch goggle eye, bass, and trout in one float. Pull over and wade fish to make it last longer.

A big tree was across that road last August. Has it been cut out?

Very likely not cut out. Not a priority there for the forest service, but I have not been down there to see.

I am not much help, we did not make it up to that part of the river last summer, gas was too high and trips too few. Ivan dumped alot of trees everywhere around there. I am sure someone either cut it out or cut a new road, alot of local traffic in there.
