About This Access Site
This take-out site on the Greenbrier River in Pocahontas County, West Virginia provides access to a significant whitewater paddling destination. The Greenbrier River is a large river system spanning nearly 154 miles with substantial elevation drop and consistent flow characteristics that make it suitable for intermediate to advanced paddlers. The site is positioned at an elevation of approximately 1,349 feet, representing the lower portion of the river's total drop from source to mouth.
The Greenbrier River's characteristics indicate a dynamic waterway with an average gradient of 8.8 feet per mile and average flow of 2,471 cubic feet per second. This take-out location provides access to a river system that drains 1,378 square miles and maintains average velocities around 2.80 feet per second. Paddlers should be prepared for whitewater conditions typical of a Stream Order 6 river, which indicates significant size and complexity. The river's distance to its confluence (approximately 2,000 miles to the mouth) places this access point in the mid-lower section of the system.
Paddlers using this take-out should anticipate moderate to fast current conditions and plan accordingly. The specific amenities and facilities at this access point are not detailed in the available data, so contacting local management or visiting in advance is recommended to confirm parking availability, launch conditions, and any applicable fees or access restrictions.
