About This Access Site
Buckhorn Creek serves as a whitewater take-out point on the Cape Fear River in Chatham County, North Carolina. This location is specifically designed for paddlers finishing upstream whitewater runs, making it a critical access point for kayakers and canoeists navigating the Cape Fear's whitewater sections. The take-out allows boaters to exit the water after paddling downstream through more challenging sections of the river.
