The Highway 34 Bridge Take-Out on McKenzie Creek in Piedmont, Wayne County, Missouri serves as a whitewater exit point for paddlers completing runs on this creek system. As a take-out location, this site is designed for boats to exit the water rather than launch, making it an essential component of any McKenzie Creek paddling trip. The site's proximity to Highway 34 Bridge provides easy vehicle access and makes shuttle planning straightforward for boaters organizing their trips.
