About This Access Site
This take-out site on Cedar Creek in Shenandoah County, Virginia serves paddlers completing whitewater sections of a significant regional waterway. Cedar Creek is a large river system (Stream Order 6) with a substantial drainage area of 1,596 square miles and an average gradient of 17.9 feet per mile, indicating moderate to challenging current conditions. The creek drops 1,105 feet over its 61.81-mile length, creating dynamic water conditions suitable for experienced paddlers.
The take-out location is positioned in the upper-middle reaches of Cedar Creek, approximately 2,822 miles from the river mouth. With an average flow of nearly 99 cubic feet per second and average velocity of 2.68 feet per second, paddlers should expect moving water with consistent current. The terrain and elevation changes through this watershed create varying conditions throughout the run, and boaters should be prepared for the whitewater characteristics typical of this region.
