About This Access Site
The put-in at Falling Creek spillway in Chesterfield County, Virginia provides access to whitewater paddling on Falling Creek. This spillway location serves as a launch point for kayakers and canoeists looking to run whitewater sections downstream. Being a spillway access point, paddlers should be aware of water conditions that may vary based on dam operations and recent rainfall, which can affect flow rates and water levels significantly. The spillway configuration means water conditions may change quickly, so checking current conditions before launching is recommended for safety.
