About This Access Site
This is a take-out access point on Back Creek, a tributary of the South River in Augusta County, Virginia. As a designated whitewater take-out, this site is primarily used by kayakers and canoeists finishing paddling trips on the creek. The location provides a place to exit the water and retrieve boats after running whitewater sections upstream. Back Creek offers Class I-II whitewater conditions typical of the region's smaller tributaries, making it accessible to paddlers with intermediate experience.
