Access map
Put-in
Lynn Camp Creek RampLynn Camp Creek VPA #1 is privately owned but open to the public through KDFWR. Continuing access depends on respectful parking and staying within the access footprint.
Take-out
Rio Carrydown AccessRio Carrydown is a simple road-end access with unpaved parking and no amenities. Pack efficiently and avoid spreading gear onto adjacent private ground.
Road shuttle
Stage the take-out at Rio Carrydown Access before driving back to Lynn Camp Creek. Inspect both landings first because Lynn Camp is steep and Rio is a simple road-end carrydown with limited amenities.
Additional access notes
- This route uses the shorter official Hart County split implied by KDFWR's Lynn Camp to H.H. Wilson and Rio to H.H. Wilson mileage. Use the longer corridor planner route instead if you need H.H. Wilson or Stovall as a developed finish.
- Use only the named public access points. Private banks between them are not general-purpose bailout or camping areas.
More route and safety guidance
- Respect the Lynn Camp VPA footprint and Rio carry-down access. Both endpoints are public-use sites, but the surrounding private-bank corridor is not a general bailout or camping area.
- Inspect Lynn Camp and Rio before launch because this route depends on a steeper upstream carry-down and a simple road-end take-out with limited amenities.
