The Take Out on Teter Creek in Barbour County, West Virginia is a whitewater take-out access point located at coordinates 39.20980100, -79.94619800. Teter Creek is a medium-sized stream (Stream Order 4) with a total length of 16.40 miles and a significant elevation drop of 1,209 feet, creating an average gradient of 73.7 feet per mile. This makes it a fairly technical whitewater run suitable for paddlers with intermediate to advanced skills. The creek drains an area of 53 square miles with an average flow of approximately 108 cubic feet per second and average velocity of 1.62 feet per second, though these conditions can vary seasonally.
As a take-out location, this site serves as the exit point for paddlers completing a whitewater run on Teter Creek. The steep gradient and headwater nature of this stream indicate continuous, moving water with potential for Class II-III rapids depending on water levels. Paddlers should be prepared for a dynamic whitewater experience with multiple drops and technical sections. The take-out location is positioned near the lower portion of the creek's run, providing access for paddlers exiting the water after their descent.
