Take Out #2 is a whitewater take-out access point on the Greenbrier River in Summers County, West Virginia. The Greenbrier River is a substantial stream classified as a large river with a stream order of 6, featuring significant elevation drop and moderate gradient that creates dynamic whitewater conditions. With an average flow of approximately 2,471 cubic feet per second and an average velocity of 2.80 feet per second, this section of the Greenbrier provides moderate to challenging paddling conditions suitable for experienced paddlers.
The take-out location at this site serves as an exit point for boaters descending the Greenbrier River's whitewater sections. The river's 8.8 feet per mile average gradient combined with its substantial drainage area of 1,378 square miles means paddlers should expect continuous current and technical sections. The Greenbrier River system drains a large region and maintains consistent water levels throughout much of the year, making it a popular destination for whitewater kayaking and canoeing.
Paddlers using this take-out should be prepared for intermediate to advanced whitewater paddling conditions. The river's flow characteristics and gradient create moving water with potential hazards including strong current and submerged obstacles typical of whitewater sections. Given the scale and flow characteristics of the Greenbrier River, boaters should have solid paddling skills and familiarity with reading whitewater before attempting sections that terminate at this access point.
