Description

Primary put-in for the Lower Gauley on river right with a large parking area that is used by those running the Lower and also those taking out after running the Upper Gauley. The access can get busy on the weekends during Gauley season. The area adjacent to the river is for loading/unloading with parking a short distance up from the river. This access point was privately owned for many years and was not available to the public until it was acquired in 2008 by the National Park Service, with advocacy from American Whitewater, to provide public boater access to the Gauley River.
