This is a closed take-out access point on Cedar Creek in Warren County, Virginia. Cedar Creek is a significant stream classified as a large river by the USGS, with a drainage area of 1,596 square miles and an average flow of approximately 99 cubic feet per second. The creek features a substantial gradient of 17.9 feet per mile, indicating moderate to fast-moving water that creates whitewater conditions suitable for paddlers seeking moving water experiences.

The site is located at the US Route 11 crossing and historically served as a take-out point for paddlers. However, this access is currently closed and unavailable for public use. Paddlers should seek alternative access points on Cedar Creek or contact local paddling organizations for current information on available launches and take-outs in the Warren County area.
