Description

The Bucklick access off Panther Mountain Road was the historic put-in for many years prior to the acquisition of Woods Ferry Access by the National Park Service. It requires a short hike down from the road down to the river to a point immediately upstream of the confluence where Bucklick Branch joins the Gauley River on river right. This access is a potential for those looking to start their trip immediately upstream of Koontz Flume.
