Description

Take Out marks the terminus of this river section, characterized by a boulder-strewn runout that demands precise maneuvering to avoid pinning hazards. Paddlers should be prepared for potential shallow water and scattered rocks, particularly during low flow periods, which can complicate navigation through the final stretch before reaching the WV 55 bridge.
