The Curtin bridge put-in is on river left at the Cherry confluence. Coming from Richwood, turn left on the gravel road just before the bridge. The Craigsville gauge is on river right, next to the old green bridge. Vehicles can park at the switchback in the gravel road (taking care not to block access or the private gate) or up next to the highway. Curtin bridge is also the takeout for the section of the Gauley upstream, the Cherry, and the lower Cranberry.
