About This Access Site
This is a take-out access point on the Castor River in Madison County, Missouri, located at coordinates 37.55766, -90.15321. As a whitewater take-out, this site is designed for paddlers finishing a run down the Castor River to exit the water. The Castor River is known for its scenic float trips and moderate whitewater sections, making it popular with kayakers and canoeists seeking a mix of current and relatively manageable conditions. Take-out points are typically more basic in amenities compared to put-in locations, serving primarily as exit points for boaters completing their journey downstream.

Paddlers using this take-out should plan ahead to arrange transportation or shuttle services, as take-out sites are accessed after completing a water run. The specific amenities and exact access conditions at this location should be confirmed before visiting, as facilities at take-out points can vary. Given its designation as a whitewater access point, this site would be most suitable for kayakers and canoeists with at least basic paddling experience who are comfortable with river currents and typical whitewater hazards.
