About This Access Site
This is a take-out access point on the Buckhannon River in Barbour County, West Virginia, located at coordinates 39.09550100, -80.07589700. As a dedicated take-out site, this location is designed for paddlers finishing their whitewater runs on the Buckhannon rather than as a launch point. The Buckhannon River is a popular whitewater paddling destination in West Virginia, offering various sections suitable for different skill levels. Take-out points are essential for planning multi-mile paddling trips, allowing boaters to exit the water safely and retrieve their vehicles or arrange shuttle services.
Paddlers using this take-out should plan their shuttle logistics in advance, as take-out-only sites may have limited amenities compared to full access areas. The location serves kayakers and canoeists navigating the Buckhannon's whitewater sections. Given the river's character as a whitewater stream, paddlers should be prepared for the river conditions they'll encounter upstream and ensure they have appropriate skill levels and gear for the sections they're paddling.
