About This Access Site
This is a take-out point on the Scioto River in Delaware County, Ohio, designed primarily for whitewater paddlers completing a river run. As a take-out location, this site serves as an exit point for kayakers and canoeists who have paddled downstream on the Scioto. The Scioto River in this region offers whitewater paddling opportunities with varying difficulty depending on water levels and the specific section being paddled. Take-out sites are essential infrastructure for planning multi-mile paddling trips, allowing boaters to safely exit the water and retrieve their vehicles left at put-in locations upstream.

Paddlers should be aware that take-out sites typically require advance planning, as they mark the end point of a journey. Water conditions on the Scioto can vary significantly based on recent rainfall and dam releases, affecting both current speed and overall paddling difficulty. This location in Delaware County provides access to a major Ohio waterway popular with the paddling community.
