Take Out

This take-out site on the Little River in Pocahontas County, West Virginia serves as an exit point for paddlers running whitewater sections of this significant Appalachian river. The Little River is a large stream system with a 91.7-mile length and substantial drainage area of 4,201 square miles, characterized by a significant average gradient of 16.2 feet per mile and an elevation drop of 1,490 feet from source to mouth. With an average flow of 6,573 cubic feet per second and velocities around 2.72 feet per second, this river presents moderately fast-moving water typical of whitewater paddling destinations in West Virginia's mountains.

Paddlers using this take-out should be prepared for the dynamic conditions of a larger whitewater river system. The location's proximity to the river's headwaters combined with the steep gradient indicates this section likely features significant current and potentially challenging whitewater features. The river's large stream order and substantial flow volume mean water levels can vary seasonally, and boaters should check current conditions before launching. This take-out point allows paddlers to safely exit the river after navigating upstream sections.

No specific amenities or parking details are available for this particular access point, so paddlers should scout the site in advance or contact local paddling organizations for current information about facilities, parking availability, and site conditions. The remote location in Pocahontas County suggests preparation and self-sufficiency are important considerations for trips utilizing this take-out.
