Road Map to Butte Falls

Report

Account Put in below this diversion dam or portage left if you put in above the falls. The creek is shallow in the beginning, but as more and more water comes in from side creeks the main creek gets wider. Bring an old boat. This sort of thing is frequent. More so in the upper end. Never let your guard down. The scenery alternates between this and cow pastures all the way down the run. The basalt makes good rapids but watch out for that log.

To get to the take-out: Go north on Oregon State Highway 62 East [sic] past Casey State Park (a possible take-out). Cross the bridge over the Rogue and turn right on Crowfoot Road. You may wish to stop and park some vehicles here and organize your shuttle as parking is limited at the preferred take-out. Go up Crowfoot 2.5 miles and turn left on Netherlands Road. Go down to the creek and park upstream river left.

To get to the put-in: Continue up and down Crowfoot to the end. Turn left on the unnamed road (Butte Falls Highway) toward Butte Falls. On the way you will pass Cobleigh Road. A left turn here will take you to the access under the bridge. Continuing on toward Butte Falls, just before entering town, turn left on Falls Road (Recycling Center). Pass the sewage pond and go down the dirt road to the picnic area and overlook. Both put-ins are here
