The common put in is at the camping wayside at Paxson Lake alongside the Richardson Highway at the Paxson Lake Campground at mile 175. From this point you have a 7‑mile paddle to the end of the lake to its outlet where after 3 miles you join the Middle Fork.

Campground with RV and tent sites. Café on site.

An alternate, and much more difficult, option involves starting on the Tangle Lakes along the Denali Highway, and paddling south, portaging from one lake to another to a point where the Middle Fork begins.
