About This Access Site
This is a take-out access point on the Potomac River in Montgomery County, Virginia, specifically designed for paddlers completing a whitewater run and needing to exit before paddling back upstream to Violette's Lock on the C&O Canal. The site serves as a convenient stopping point for canoeists and kayakers navigating this section of the Potomac, which features whitewater conditions requiring some paddling experience. Being a take-out location, it provides paddlers with an exit point from the river rather than a launch point, making it ideal for planning multi-segment paddle trips or shuttle runs in the area.
