PAN Access Advisory Cacapon
River, at US 50 bridge
Access to the Cacapon
River, from US 50 in Capon Bridge. This
adds about 4 miles of flatwater to the traditional Cacapon whitewater
run.
The former arrangements
with Mr. Wolford, owner of the Red Rooster store, are obsolete.
Mr. Wolford has sold the store.
The store is now Flower
Creations and Gifts. The new owners allow put-in and take-out
on the property, at $5 per boat.
The store is located at the end of the west-bound side of the
US 50 bridge at Capon Bridge, or downstream river left.
We THINK parking privileges
are included, at the prior location.
Immediately at the west end of the bridge and BEFORE the store,
turn downstream / north onto a gravel driveway.
The put-in is about 25 yards downstream, at a grassy slope. Park vehicles on the river side of the
driveway, NOT alongside the store.
No advance notice
is required, and you can launch / land after hours.
Your payment goes into a self-service box that’s stocked with
envelopes, so you’ll need a pen along with your $5.
If you have questions, the store’s phone is 304 856-2225. The owners may be running a shuttle service
by summer 2006.
PLEASE NOTE: Most
private owners and organizations never invite paddlers to use their
land. Many are kind enough to tolerate it.
Just as we paddle at our own risk, we use advisories, parking
spaces, and access sites at our own risk.
