About This Access Site
This is a take-out access point on the Big Sandy River, specifically the Tug Fork section in Pike County, West Virginia. The Tug Fork is a popular whitewater paddling destination known for its rapids and scenic gorge. As a take-out location, this site is designed for paddlers ending their whitewater runs rather than starting them, making it an essential part of planning a complete river trip on this stretch. The take-out provides river access in a region that offers some of the most well-known whitewater paddling in West Virginia, with the Tug Fork presenting a mix of Class II-III rapids depending on water levels.
