About This Access Site
Sunburst Put In is a whitewater access point on the West Fork of the Pigeon River in Haywood County, North Carolina. This put-in serves paddlers looking to access whitewater sections of the Pigeon River system. The location provides entry into a section of river known for its whitewater characteristics, making it suitable for kayakers and canoeists seeking moving water paddling experiences.

As a dedicated whitewater put-in, this access point is designed specifically for launching into the river. Paddlers should be prepared for the water conditions typical of mountain whitewater rivers in this region. The site's coordinates place it in the western North Carolina mountains, an area with substantial gradient and current.
