Whitten Access

Nice little drive. Gravel road. Beautiful scenery. Easy trail. Tent camping sites and restrooms close by.

Public out houses. Gravel road about four miles from main road. The road getting to the access point is quite steep. Concrete boat ramp and landing is adequate for small boats, canoe and kayaks.

This is a great take out spot! It’s easy to see, on the right, from the River…there is plenty of room, for you and multiple kayaks to get out at once, and the parking is close! Only thing, the locals tell you to look for a rope swing, and then you will know you are there. My friend, and I, never saw the rope swing. Some other people pointed to it, for us, but still, nope. So, it is an underwhelming rope swing. Ha! And from Turner Mill to Whitten, they say is 3 miles on the river…ehhh…I don’t know about that. Both times I have done it, it has seemed like the longest trek. It feels like 5 miles minimum, and it is some paddling, to keep you at a decent pace…at this point…Last 2 miles, especially at dusk, watch out for the horseflies. They will swarm you! Especially here for some reason. (Or m

The road getting in there can get extremely rough. The boat ramp is at a weird angle and depending on how people Park it's hard to get in there sometimes but other than that pretty decent

I love this place. Good gravel road all the way there. Several parking places and a good boat ramp.
