About This Access Site
This take-out access point on Walnut Creek in Millcreek Township provides a whitewater exit for paddlers completing sections of this substantial waterway. Walnut Creek is a large river system spanning 89 miles with a significant elevation drop of 355 feet, creating varying water conditions throughout its length. With an average gradient of 4 feet per mile and moderate flow averaging 116 cubic feet per second, the creek offers whitewater opportunities suitable for intermediate to advanced paddlers depending on which section is being run.

The take-out location is positioned along the lower portions of the creek system, approximately 1565 miles upstream from the river mouth. The water velocity and gradient at this section suggest moderate current conditions typical of whitewater paddling. Boaters should be prepared for stream conditions including potential obstacles and varying water speeds depending on seasonal flow rates and recent rainfall.
