Gauge Conditions
Arguably most difficult at 4-5'. Above 5', things begin to wash out, though there are some BIG holes and waves.
Description
Take out on river left just below Bruner Run Rapid. A short trail leads uphill to a staging area where, during the weekend permit season, a shuttle bus transports boaters to the parking lot at the Old Mitchell Place. Outside of the weekend permit season—or on weekdays—you can drive down and park here near the river. Designated outfitter parking is located on the lower terrace closer to the water, while public parking is just above. The Bruner Run access opened to both outfitters and the public at the start of the 1979 boating season.
The next takeout downstream is at the Indian Creek Aqueduct on river right, approximately three miles below. Access there is via a steep, rough jeep trail descending the right bank to the Aqueduct—reportedly even rougher than the Jenkinsburg Bridge road to the Cheat Canyon takeout.
