About This Access Site
This put-in location is situated below the Wintergreen gatehouse on the South Fork of the Rockfish River in Nelson County, Virginia. The South Fork Rockfish is a whitewater stream that offers paddling opportunities for those seeking moving water adventures in the Blue Ridge region. As a whitewater put-in, this access point serves kayakers and canoeists looking to run sections of this river system.

Paddlers using this access should be prepared for whitewater conditions typical of mountain streams in central Virginia. The location's proximity to the Wintergreen gatehouse suggests it may be on or near resort property, so paddlers should verify current access policies and any potential restrictions before planning a trip. Water levels and flow conditions can vary seasonally, which may affect the difficulty and safety of paddling this section.
