Description

The takeout for the lowermost section of Big Walker Creek is on the New River at Ripplemead, which is half a mile downstream from the confluence on river left.  To get there from put-in, Farley Wayside park at the Hwy. 100 bridge, turn left (north) on Hwy. 100 and drive into Pearisburg.  Turn right at the light on Wenonah, and don't make any other turns. Keep straight, eventually passing under Hwy. 460, as the road becomes two lanes, one lane, and then gravel as it passes under 460 again and travels upstream to the boat ramp.  From Pembroke, cross the 460 bridge and then take the Ripplemead exit, and turn right at the end of the ramp.
