About This Access Site
This is a whitewater take-out point located on Catawba Creek in Botetourt County, Virginia, near the James River confluence. The site serves as an exit point for paddlers completing whitewater runs on Catawba Creek. Being a take-out location, it is primarily designed for boats to pull out after traveling downstream. The James confluence location indicates this is where Catawba Creek meets the James River, making it a strategic take-out point for multi-creek paddling trips in the region.

As a dedicated take-out site, this location is typically less developed than full-service boat launch facilities. Paddlers using this site should be familiar with whitewater paddling and have their own transportation arranged for shuttling vehicles, as take-out locations often have minimal amenities. The Botetourt County area offers popular whitewater opportunities, and this site would be useful for those planning creek and river trips in central Virginia.
