About This Access Site
The Upstream putin on Fike Run is a whitewater put-in location situated in Wharton Township, Fayette County, Pennsylvania. This access point serves as an entry point for paddlers looking to run the whitewater sections of Fike Run. The site is positioned at the upstream end, making it suitable for those planning to paddle downstream through the run's rapids and whitewater features.

Paddlers using this put-in should be prepared for whitewater paddling conditions typical of the region's small to medium-sized creeks. Water levels and conditions can vary seasonally and with recent rainfall, which is common for Appalachian whitewater streams. The location's upstream positioning means paddlers will have the full course of the run ahead of them for their downstream journey.
