Description
The Otter Creek Trail Foot Bridge serves as an alternate take-out point for paddlers navigating this section of the Cheat River's Dry Fork. While not a rapid itself, the foot bridge provides a strategic access point for those wanting to exit the river before reaching the full Jenningston to Hendricks run. Paddlers should be aware of potential access challenges and ensure they have a clear plan for shuttle logistics when using this alternate take-out location.
