Most people take out on river left just downstream of the Apalachia powerhouse, parking out of the way in the gravel lot near the river, and of course outside of the gates to the powerhouse. A gate at the top of the gorge is sometimes locked, sometimes not. Other folks choose to take out at the Lower Hiwassee put in, downstream. A foot bridge here provide hiking access across the river.
