Rifle River Pipeline Park





The Rifle River Pipeline Park is a public entrance to the Rifle River!








    

     Earlier this week I posted an article, and photos of the Rifle River High Banks entrance to the Rifle River.  Approximately a half mile south of the High Banks is the Rifle River Pipeline Park.  The Pipeline entrance has about half as many steps down to the water as the High Banks, and the current here is very strong on a windy day.  There is no railing along side the stairs for your small boat, but many people use the Pipeline entrance for fishing, and tubing. There is a place to rest near the midway point, but don't forget the bug spray, or the mosquitos will eat you alive. The Rifle River Pipeline got it's name because of the Pipeline that runs over, and across the river (as seen in the photo above).  The Rifle River Pipeline is located in Mills Township, off of Rifle River road.    




 




The current at the Rifle River Pipeline is very strong on a windy day!

  2. Back in the 70s My dad took us on the Rifle river. Put my mom and I in one Canoe with all of the stuff. His wallet. We checked at the pipeline. My mom was so bruised up from the rocks. For 2 days later. We were finding 50s and 20s floating down the river from my dad's wallet. That was our third and last river run.
