Take Out

This take-out access point on the Greenbrier River serves paddlers completing whitewater trips on one of West Virginia's most popular river runs. The Greenbrier River is a large stream order 6 river with significant gradient, averaging 8.8 feet per mile drop, which creates dynamic whitewater conditions suitable for intermediate to advanced paddlers. The river carries an average flow of approximately 2,471 cubic feet per second with an average velocity of 2.80 feet per second, making it an active waterway that demands respect and proper paddling skills.

The take-out location is positioned in Greenbrier County, strategically placed to allow boaters to exit after navigating sections of the river with notable elevation changes and current. The Greenbrier River originates in the higher elevations (826 meters) and descends significantly over its 153.90-mile length, providing varied whitewater characteristics depending on which section is paddled. This particular take-out likely serves trips from various put-in points upstream, making it an essential access point for the whitewater paddling community in the region.

Paddlers using this take-out should be prepared for strong currents and the physical demands of a large river system. Water levels and conditions can vary seasonally, so checking current flow data before your trip is recommended. The location's role as a take-out point means you will need to arrange transportation logistics, either through a shuttle service or by having vehicles positioned at both put-in and take-out locations.
