About This Access Site
The Phoenix Take Out is a whitewater access point on the Gunpowder Falls located in Towson, Baltimore County, Maryland. This site serves as an exit point for paddlers running the whitewater sections of the Gunpowder Falls, a popular destination for kayakers and canoeists seeking moving water and rapids. The take out allows boaters to safely exit the river after their runs and is a critical part of the shuttle logistics for whitewater paddling trips on this section of the river.
As a take out location, this site is designed specifically for paddlers to leave the water after completing downstream sections. Paddlers planning to run the Gunpowder Falls should arrange shuttle transportation, as take outs are typically accessed from the water rather than serving as primary launch points. The surrounding area is in the Towson region of Baltimore County, which provides access to one of Maryland's premier whitewater paddling destinations.
