About Willow River (Tabor Mt Staging Area 5)

This site offers riverside access to the Willow River. It is a popular takeout point for river kayakers, as well as an excellent spot to enjoy a picnic or have a swim in the river. A short trail of approximately 300 metres leads from the parking area to various points along the river. Please note that downstream of this spot is a dangerous canyon on the river, therefore users should not travel downstream of this point. Although camping is permitted in the parking area, there is limited space available, so please be considerate of day use parking if camping in this area.
