About This Access Site
This is a take-out access point on the North Prong of Lewis Fork in Wilkes County, North Carolina. As a whitewater take-out location, it serves paddlers completing runs on this section of the North Prong. The site is situated at coordinates 36.14750000, -81.30200000 in the foothills region of western North Carolina. Take-out points like this are essential for whitewater paddlers as exit points after completing upstream sections of the river.

Paddlers using this take-out should be prepared with appropriate whitewater skills and equipment. The Lewis Fork system in this region typically features moving water conditions suitable for kayakers and canoeists with moderate experience. As with most whitewater access points, it is important to scout conditions before paddling and check water levels, as flow rates in mountain streams can vary significantly with rainfall and seasonal conditions.
