Description
Putin: (Burdette Putin info) From The takeoput at the Russelville Trailhead, drive 5.2 miles north-east on Quinwood Nutterville Rd. Take a right on Hurricaine ridge road (sometimes rough gravel) for 3.7 miles until you can see the river on the right and there is a small pullout and road to walk down to the river.
Takeout: Just above the bridge on Nutterwood Road which is just off WV 41. There is now a new parking area (2023) for the meadow river rail trail (Russelville trailhead) on river right before you get the the bridge.
Note: One option to bike/run the shuttle involves less than 6 miles on the freshly done (2023) beautiful Meadow river rail trail (https://meadowriverrailtrail.com/) that overlooks the river for several miles.
To get to the Burdette Creek access on river right (just below the railroad trestle and the start of the whitewater), drive upstream from the takeout on Quinwood/Nutterville Rd. (CR2, paved). Turn right on Hurricane Ridge road (gravel, well marked). Avoid the two right turns with Weyerhauser signs/gates, and look for a sharp right that descends steeply to the river. 20 minutes one way.
