About This Access Site
Fires Creek Take Out is a whitewater take-out access point located in Clay County, North Carolina. This site serves as an exit point for kayakers and canoeists running whitewater sections of Fires Creek. The take-out provides access to the creek in a rural mountain setting typical of western North Carolina's whitewater paddling areas. Being a dedicated take-out location, this site is designed primarily for egress after paddling upstream sections rather than as a primary launch point.
