About This Access Site
This is a take-out access point on Buffalo Creek, a tributary of the Elk River located in Clay County, West Virginia. As a whitewater take-out site, it serves paddlers who have completed a run down Buffalo Creek and need to exit the water. The location provides an important endpoint for kayakers and canoeists running whitewater sections of this stream. Being a take-out rather than a launch point, this site is primarily used to conclude paddling trips rather than begin them.
