Take Out

This is a whitewater take-out on Cane Creek in Van Buren County, Tennessee, located at a medium river with substantial gradient and flow characteristics suitable for paddling. Cane Creek is a stream order 5 river with an average flow of 215.61 cubic feet per second and an average gradient of 10.3 feet per mile, indicating moderately fast moving water typical of whitewater paddling sections. The creek drains a 189 square mile watershed and features a total elevation drop of 531 feet across its 51.70 mile length, making it an active waterway with consistent current throughout.

As a designated take-out point, this site serves paddlers completing whitewater runs on Cane Creek. The location in Van Buren County provides access to a creek system that is considerably far from its mouth, approximately 1109 miles away, placing this site in the upper watershed sections where water movement is more vigorous. Paddlers using this take-out should be prepared for the moderate to fast current conditions typical of a stream with this gradient and flow rate. The elevation and topography of the Van Buren County area suggest this access point is in a scenic, relatively undeveloped region suitable for whitewater recreation.
