The West Fork River access site in Clarksburg offers a convenient launch point for recreational paddlers and boaters on this scenic Harrison County waterway. The West Fork River is classified as "recreationally navigable" and is ideal for canoes, kayaks, and similar small craft. The removal of three dams in 2016 significantly improved paddling conditions and river connectivity throughout the area, making this a more accessible destination for water-based recreation.
This access point is part of ongoing improvements to West Fork River boat access in the region. According to recent West Virginia Division of Natural Resources projects, the site is slated to receive enhancements including concrete boat ramps and improved parking facilities. Before visiting, check current conditions and any facility updates, as construction and improvements may be in progress. The site's specific amenities and parking details should be confirmed with local authorities or the WVDNR to plan your trip accordingly.
