About This Access Site
Thorpe Powerhouse is a whitewater take-out location on the Tuckasegee River and West Fork in Jackson County, North Carolina. This access point serves paddlers completing whitewater runs in the area and provides a convenient exit from the river. As a take-out site, it is primarily designed for boaters finishing their paddling trips rather than launching new ones. The location benefits from its proximity to popular whitewater sections of the Tuckasegee system, making it a practical stopping point for kayakers and canoeists running the local rapids and sections.
