There is an undeveloped dirt landing along the west side of the river just above the dam at Juliette that allows excellent access to the Juliette pool. The turnoff to the landings is just east of the railroad crossing on Juliette-Round Oak Rd. Follow it several hundred yards upstream and past the old bridge site to a small parking area. The landing is unpaved, but on dry days it could be used to launch motorized boats using a trailer. The old textile mill dam at Juliette creates a large pool, so the current here is very calm.
There is also a primitive access to the river just upstream from the bridge, via a small turnoff on the north side of Juliette-Round Oak Rd. right at the bridge. The turnaround could only hold one or two vehicles but there is more potential parking on the road or across the railroad tracks in the hamlet of Juliette, famous for the Whistle Stop Cafe where they serve fried green tomatoes and filmed much of the movie named for that dish.
Juliette is one mile east of US Hwy. 23. The main road to town becomes Juliette-Round Oak Rd. East of town it goes through the Piedmont National Wildlife Refuge toward Hwy. 11 in Round Oak.
