Take Out

This is a whitewater take-out point on Abram Creek, a headwater stream located in Mineral County, West Virginia. Abram Creek is a relatively small creek with a total length of 19.41 miles and drains an area of 44 square miles. The stream features a steep average gradient of 64.6 feet per mile, which creates continuous moving water conditions typical of whitewater paddling sections.

The creek drops 1254 feet in elevation over its course, with water flowing at an average velocity of 1.82 feet per second and average flows around 90 cubic feet per second. These characteristics indicate this is a moderately technical whitewater creek suitable for intermediate to advanced paddlers. As a take-out point, this location would typically be used at the end of a paddling run, allowing boaters to exit the water and access their vehicles. The take-out is positioned in the lower portion of the creek's run toward Mineral County.

Paddlers using Abram Creek should be prepared for swift current and the technical demands of a steep mountain creek. Water levels and flow conditions can vary significantly with rainfall, so checking current conditions before paddling is important for safety. The remote location in West Virginia's mountain terrain means paddlers should be self-sufficient and prepared for potential hazards typical of small whitewater creeks.
