Rifle River Hidden Entrance!




There are several public entrances to the Rifle River!  Some entrances are more well known then others!








     The last few posts have displayed a couple of the popular, and more well known public entrances to the Rifle River.  The Rifle River High Banks, and the Rifle River Pipeline Park are used by most of the tourists to access the river for fishing, canoeing, kayaking, and tubing.  There is another entrance that is unadvertised, and somewhat hidden, and is known by the locals as the Kenneth Drive entrance.  Hidden down a side street (Kenneth), this public entrance features a parking area, and steps right into the water.  Even on a windy afternoon, the current is still calm at this entrance, and the park itself is very quiet, and less frequently visited.  The park has been dedicated to Harold R. Kleinert (1923-2009) who was the founder of the Rifle River Watershed Restoration Committee!  There will be no photo album accompanying this post, but scroll down to check out more pictures of the park.  Be sure to check out all of the Mitten State Sports Report's archived material. Leave a comment or email the Mitten State Sports Report directly at mittenstatesportsreport@rocketmail.com

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!
