Take Out

This take-out site on Otter Creek in Tucker County, West Virginia provides access to a significant whitewater river system. Otter Creek is a large stream (Stream Order 6) with a substantial drainage area of 699 square miles and an impressive total elevation drop of 1,231 feet over its 85-mile length. The average gradient of 14.5 feet per mile indicates consistent whitewater characteristics throughout much of the creek, making this a destination for paddlers seeking technical river running.

The creek originates as a headwater stream and maintains an average flow of 38.85 cubic feet per second with velocities around 1.91 feet per second. Given the stream's size, gradient, and flow characteristics, paddlers should expect moderately fast current and technical sections. This take-out location allows boaters to complete sections of the Otter Creek run, which flows through the mountainous terrain of West Virginia.

Paddlers using this take-out should be prepared for whitewater conditions and have appropriate skills for handling the creek's gradient and current. The specific access configuration and amenities at this take-out point are not detailed in the available data, so it is recommended to contact local paddling clubs or the West Virginia Division of Natural Resources for current information about parking, facilities, and take-out conditions.
