About This Access Site
This is a take-out access point on Upper Creek in Burke County, North Carolina, designed for whitewater paddlers finishing their downstream run. The site provides river access for kayakers and canoeists who have paddled Upper Creek and need to exit the water. As a take-out location, this site is typically used by boaters completing whitewater trips rather than launching new trips, making it an essential part of planning paddling routes on this creek system. The coordinates place this access point in Burke County, which is located in the western North Carolina foothills.
