Put In - Bartlick Bridge, river right

Following VA80 east towards Haysi, VA look for VA611 on the right about 5-6 miles past the Breaks Park. Follow VA611 till it crosses the Russell Fork at the Bartlick Bridge.

To put in at Flannagan Dam on the Pound, continue driving across the bridge, and in a mile or so bear left toward the dam.

If there is enough natural flow in the Russell Fork, you can put in at Haysi. Stay on VA80 into Haysi. Do not turn off the road (VA80 veers away in downtown) and follow the river through downtown. The road continues on river right past downtown, parking is about a half mile from downtown on the left side of the road across from an appliance store.
