Take Out

Wolf Creek's take-out at the Narrows in Giles County serves as an exit point for whitewater paddlers completing trips on this medium-sized river. With a stream order of 5 and an average gradient of 24.7 feet per mile, Wolf Creek presents moving water conditions suitable for intermediate to advanced paddlers. The site is positioned at an elevation of approximately 1,944 feet, reflecting the significant elevation change across Wolf Creek's 78.78-mile length as it flows through southwestern Virginia.

The take-out location near the Narrows provides access to a section of river characterized by moderate current and flow. At an average flow rate of 68.78 cubic feet per second and velocity of 2.02 feet per second, paddlers should expect consistent downstream movement. The drainage area of 470 square miles indicates a substantial river system capable of supporting various water-based activities, though water levels and conditions can vary seasonally.

Paddlers using this take-out should be aware that the river's gradient and flow characteristics require appropriate skill levels and equipment. The Narrows area may present natural constrictions typical of the region, and boaters should plan accordingly for their exit from the water.
