About This Access Site
This take-out access point on the Guyandotte River in Wyoming County serves paddlers completing whitewater runs on a significant West Virginia river system. The Guyandotte River is a large stream with an average flow of 2,326 cubic feet per second and maintains a consistent gradient of 6.2 feet per mile, creating dynamic whitewater conditions suitable for intermediate to advanced paddlers. The river's elevation drop of 1,055 feet over its 169-mile length indicates substantial gradient sections that generate moving water with average velocities around 3.16 feet per second.
