There is no boat ramp or official launch spot, but there is a place, just upstream from the dam, where a kayak or canoe can be launched. The dam forms a small lake whose slack water extends about a half mile upstream.

On the downstream side of the dam it is an easy wade of about 1.3 miles to the I35 crossing and a further 3/4 mile to the upper end of San Gabriel park.
