Houchin Ferry river access is open for put-in and take-out of canoes and kayaks.

The park installed 80 tons of rock at the site today, to provide more solid footing than the existing soft river mud.

"This is a temporary fix," said Superintendent Barclay Trimble. "We will begin a study of the area later this year to determine the best way to access the river at Houchin Ferry."

Change in the conditions of pool 6 around Houchin Ferry make the area unrecognizable from the picture. It certainly is understandable how the stream got the name of "Green River."
In 1958, Larry Skaggs and I caught a thirty-five pound drum in the first river curve upstream from the ferry. The location is visible in the extreme upper right corner of the photograph.
Nice photo Mr. Doyle---brings back great memories.
