Take Out

Pine Creek is a medium-sized whitewater stream located in Pushmataha County, Oklahoma, with a total length of 30.21 miles and a significant elevation drop of 552 feet. This take-out access point is positioned near the lower section of the creek, making it suitable for boaters finishing whitewater runs. The stream features an average gradient of 18.3 feet per mile with moderate flow averaging 6.79 cubic feet per second, creating dynamic water conditions typical of whitewater paddling environments.

Paddlers using this take-out should be prepared for moving water with an average velocity of 1.11 feet per second. The creek's classification as a Stream Order 4 (medium river) indicates it has developed channels and consistent flow patterns. Given the terrain elevation ranging from 805 to 973 meters and the creek's gradient, boaters should expect active current and potentially technical sections, particularly during higher water conditions.

This access point serves as an endpoint for whitewater expeditions on Pine Creek. Paddlers should have appropriate skill for whitewater navigation and be familiar with current conditions before launching upstream sections. The site's location in Pushmataha County provides access to one of Oklahoma's notable whitewater paddling areas.
