Rim Shoals walk in access improvements

[netboy]

Our local White River Trout Unlimited chapter is currently working with AGFC to develop a walking trail that will extend about a mile downstream from the Rim Shoals walk in access parking lot.

Big thanks to Gary Flippin of Rim Shoals Resort for moving this forward.

Here is the history of the project and a few pics of the progress...

I saw some heavy equipment in there Saturday and wondered what was going.

Here's a couple more pics from today.

They will use the walkway span to cross the creek once they build up the edges with rock.

@netboy can you cross the river down there by the end of the island on min flow?

Yes I have crossed it at the access point that is about 50 yards upstream of the end of the island. It gets a little too deep right at the end on the island.

I have pictures and memories...That is all.

It's been 15 years since I've been to RS but we were able to wade across at that time.  

Those fish acted like they'd never seen a leech before, we hammered 'em.

You can still wade across most of the way from the access downstream to the island. It does get a bit too deep at the lower end of the island though.
