Description
The Thayer River Access on the New River provides a critical entry point for boaters accessing the river's challenging downstream section. While specific rapid details are limited, this river right access point likely serves as a strategic launch and potential scout location for navigating the surrounding whitewater terrain between McCreery and Thurmond. Paddlers should carefully assess river conditions and potential hazards before putting in, as the New River's characteristics can vary significantly with water levels.
