About This Access Site
This take-out location is situated above Muddy Creek Falls in Swallow Falls State Park, making it an important egress point for paddlers running Muddy Creek, a tributary of the Youghiogheny River in Garrett County, West Virginia. The take-out is positioned strategically before paddlers would encounter the falls, which is critical for safety. Muddy Creek offers whitewater paddling through a scenic area, and this access point serves as the standard exit for boaters completing runs on this section of water.
