Take Out

This take-out access point on the Greenbrier River in Pocahontas County serves as an exit for paddlers completing whitewater runs on this significant West Virginia river. The Greenbrier is a large river system with a substantial average flow of 2471 cubic feet per second and maintains a consistent gradient of 8.8 feet per mile, making it suitable for intermediate to advanced paddlers seeking whitewater recreation. The river's 1378 square mile drainage area and stream order of 6 classification indicate this is a major regional waterway with reliable water volume throughout much of the year.

The take-out location provides access to a river section characterized by moderate current velocity of 2.8 feet per second and an 826-foot elevation span across the river's 153-mile course through mountainous terrain. Paddlers should be prepared for fast-moving water typical of Appalachian whitewater systems and plan their trips accordingly with appropriate skill levels and safety equipment. The significant elevation drop and strong average gradient mean that water conditions can change rapidly based on recent rainfall and seasonal snowmelt.

Access to this take-out allows paddlers to complete runs on one of West Virginia's premier whitewater destinations. The river's remote setting in Pocahontas County means that paddlers should be self-sufficient and plan shuttle arrangements in advance. Current water flow data and recent conditions should be verified before trips, as the Greenbrier's flow volume can vary significantly with seasonal changes.
