You can also access it from a small dirt lot on Morris Ave, but it's a steep walk to the river and you are pretty much limited to the area around the abandoned RR bridge. A third option is to park on Essex Ave. From there it's a short walk to the north entrance of the park on Main Street.

The stretch in Grace Lord Park receives heavy pressure during fall and spring trout stocking seasons, but is usually not so bad the rest of the year. There are two deep holes in this stretch that will probably hold fish in the summer.

The banks are very steep in some sections, so be prepared.
Awesome! Thanks Brian. This is very helpful. I am looking forward to trying out this area of the river! Thanks for the info!
