About This Access Site
Soco Creek Take Out is a whitewater access point located in the Painttown Community in Jackson County, North Carolina. This take-out site serves paddlers running the Soco Creek whitewater section and provides a convenient exit point for kayakers and canoeists completing their run. The site is situated in the scenic western North Carolina mountains near the Cherokee area.

This take-out access point is designed specifically for paddlers finishing their whitewater runs on Soco Creek. Given its location and designation as a take-out rather than a launch point, it primarily serves as an exit for paddlers who have started their journey upstream. The area is part of Jackson County's network of paddling access points.
