About This Access Site
This is a take-out access point located in Parsons, Tucker County, West Virginia on the Cheat River's Black Fork. As a take-out site, this location is designed for paddlers to exit the water after completing a whitewater run rather than as a launch point. The Black Fork of the Cheat River is known for its whitewater paddling opportunities and attracts kayakers and canoeists seeking river trips in the Appalachian region. Parsons is situated in a remote area of West Virginia with limited developed facilities in the immediate vicinity.

Paddlers using this take-out should be aware that specific amenities and parking availability at this particular access point are not fully documented in the available information. It is advisable to contact local paddling clubs or the Tucker County Parks and Recreation department for current details about parking, restroom facilities, and any seasonal access restrictions. The Cheat River system requires intermediate to advanced paddling skills in many sections, so paddlers should verify current water levels and difficulty ratings before planning a trip.
