About This Access Site
This is a take-out access point on the Cullasaja River in Macon County, North Carolina, located in the western mountains of the state. The Cullasaja is a whitewater river known for its scenic gorge and challenging rapids, making this take-out an important endpoint for paddlers running sections of the river. As a dedicated take-out location, this site is designed primarily for kayakers and canoeists to exit the water after completing whitewater runs upstream. The coordinates place this access in a rural area characteristic of the Nantahala National Forest region.
