This short, flat-water stretch of river is perfect for beginning paddlers. The one-mile section of river is backed-up by the Glencoe Dam, meaning there is little or no current under normal conditions and nearly always enough water, even on dry summer days. The river is accessible from either Indian Valley Paddle Access or Great Bend Park and a round-trip is possible from either location. Both accesses require carrying the boats a short distance, but the Indian Valley Paddle Access is closer to the parking area. Restrooms are available in the Great Bend Park parking area or in the clubhouse at Indian Valley Golf Course, across the street from the paddle access.
