About This Access Site
Spring Creek is a medium-sized whitewater river in Greenbrier County, West Virginia, with a total length of 21.35 miles and a significant elevation drop of 663 feet over its course. This take-out site is located at the lower section of the creek, making it a suitable exit point for paddlers completing a whitewater run. The creek maintains an average gradient of 31.1 feet per mile, indicating consistent whitewater character throughout much of its length, with an average flow of 51.90 cubic feet per second and velocity of 2.01 feet per second.

The take-out location serves paddlers finishing whitewater runs on Spring Creek. Given the stream's classification as a medium river with substantial gradient and the designation as a whitewater take-out, this site is best suited for kayakers and canoeists with intermediate to advanced paddling skills who are comfortable with moving water. The take-out access point provides essential egress for boaters completing their descent of the creek's whitewater sections.

Paddlers should be aware of the creek's consistent gradient and current speed when planning their trip. The surrounding Greenbrier County area offers additional outdoor recreation opportunities. Before paddling, check current water conditions and flow rates, as spring runoff and recent rainfall can significantly affect the character and difficulty of whitewater sections.
