About This Access Site
The Take Out on Balm of Gilead Brook in Johnsburg, Warren County, is a whitewater access point designed for paddlers finishing a run on this scenic Adirondack waterway. Located at coordinates 43.74219900, -74.05690000, this site provides a designated exit point for kayakers and canoeists who have paddled downstream. Being a take-out location, it is positioned to receive boaters at the end of their journey rather than serve as a primary launch point.

Balm of Gilead Brook flows through the northern Adirondacks and offers whitewater paddling opportunities for those seeking moving water and technical sections. Paddlers should be prepared for the characteristics typical of small mountain brooks in this region. This take-out serves as an important resource for planning multi-mile whitewater runs and ensuring safe exit from the water at an appropriate location.
