About This Access Site
Put In - Henry is a whitewater access point on the North Branch of the Potomac River in Grant County, West Virginia. This put-in serves paddlers looking to access whitewater sections of the North Branch, which is known for its Class I-III rapids depending on water levels and the specific section being paddled. The North Branch offers scenic mountain views and is a popular destination for kayakers and canoeists seeking moderate whitewater experiences.

The Henry put-in provides river access for those planning trips downstream on the North Branch corridor. Water conditions vary with seasonal flow and recent rainfall, so paddlers should check current water levels and weather conditions before launching. The area is situated in the Appalachian region, and paddlers should be prepared for cool water temperatures, especially during spring snowmelt and fall seasons.
