Phelps Creek Horse Camp Take-Out is a whitewater take-out access point located on the Chiwawa River in Chelan County, Washington. This site serves as an exit point for paddlers completing whitewater runs on the Chiwawa, a river known for its scenic alpine setting and challenging water conditions. The take-out at Phelps Creek Horse Camp provides access for kayakers and canoeists finishing their runs, with the proximity to horse camping facilities suggesting a rustic, backcountry character typical of upper river access points in the North Cascades region.
As a take-out specifically, this location is designed for boaters to exit the river rather than launch. Paddlers should be prepared for typical whitewater river conditions and ensure they have appropriate skill levels for the Chiwawa before committing to a full run. The remote location near the Chiwawa River corridor means access is primarily suited for experienced river runners familiar with alpine whitewater environments.
