About This Access Site
The Anthony access site provides a convenient put-in or take-out location on the Greenbrier River near Frankford in Greenbrier County. This site serves paddlers exploring one of West Virginia's most scenic and remote river sections, making it an ideal spot for kayakers and canoeists planning day trips or multi-day excursions through the area.

The Greenbrier River in this section offers mostly Class II water with small rapids, suitable for paddlers with basic to intermediate skills. Be aware that one Class III rapid (Tumble Rock) is located approximately three miles upstream of the Anthony Bridge, so plan your route accordingly based on water conditions and skill level. Water levels fluctuate seasonally and even daily, so check current conditions before launching. The river corridor is known for its scenic, remote character as it passes through the Appalachian region between the towns of Marlinton and Alderson.

For trip planning, coordinate your access points with nearby Alderson Access (located at 1401 East Riverview Avenue in Alderson, WV 24910) if planning a longer paddle section. Consult current water level information and West Virginia boating regulations before your visit.
