About This Access Site
Wills Creek Take Out is a whitewater take-out access point on Brush Creek in Fairhope Township, Somerset County, Pennsylvania. Brush Creek is a medium-sized headwater stream with a significant gradient of 20.8 feet per mile, making it suitable for whitewater paddling activities. The creek drops 336 feet in elevation over its 16.12-mile length, and at this take-out location, paddlers can expect moderately fast water conditions typical of a stream order 4 waterway with an average velocity of 0.96 feet per second and relatively modest average flow of 2.92 cubic feet per second.
This take-out serves boaters finishing whitewater runs on Brush Creek. The drainage area of 27 square miles upstream provides consistent flow, though water levels will vary seasonally and with precipitation. Given the creek's gradient and flow characteristics, paddlers should have intermediate to advanced whitewater skills to safely navigate runs on this stream. The site's designation as a take-out point means it is specifically designed to allow paddlers to exit the water after completing their run downstream.
