About
The Bluewater Bridge Recreation Site is a small site a few kilometers up Bluewater Creek at a former road crossing location. White water paddlers often put in at this site and take out at the Bluewater Creek Recreation Site. The section between the two sites can be rated at grade 2 with a small section of grade 3 under the Bush River Bridge. You can see this section from the bridge on the main FSR.
Road access. User-maintained site with no regular servicing. Facilities on file: boat launch, toilets, picnic tables, fire rings, parking. First come, first served.
Getting there: Take the Bush River FSR at Donald, turn right at 5.5 km on the Bush River FSR turn east and continue about 1.5km to the Recreation Site.
