Between River and Highway

Gravel access off Chena Hot Springs Road at mile 38.1. When you enter the area stay to the right and it opens up on a large gravel area above the river. There is parking in this area and at 2 spurs to the left and right. Check out the spurs before you drive in as turnaround is tight. Tons of stink bugs when we were there the first week of June.
