River Access, Headley Road

East of Maurertown


When I was writing Sunday’s post, I did online research to confirm the location of my pictures and saw that there’s a boat landing near there that I had not seen yet. On Monday it rained, but finally it let up and I put Charlie in the car and drove back to Maurertown and went out Zion Church Road to find the place. It was right where the DWR website said it was: on Headley Road just after you turn off Zion Church Road and cross the North Fork. 

The rain had returned as a light drizzle, but that didn’t stop us from getting out of the car. I wanted to take some pictures and Charlie wanted to take a walk.





No one else was there. Parking is restricted, but I have a fishing license from DWR. I don’t fish, but there are places where I need a license in order to park, so I invested in one. These parking lots are small, and paid for by license fees.

Soon we got back in the car. There was one more site. I wanted to see nearby. It’s Hudgin’s Rest. and you can’t really see it from the road in summer, but I photographed the sign. 



The rain made everything extra green.
