If you are looking to get your feet wet but unsure where to start let us help. This kayak trip is a short run that’s perfect for the family. It’s recommended you bring two cars… unless you want a long walk.
- Park one car at the Blackwater River State Park on Deaton Bridge Road ($4.00 parking)
- Drive other car north and take a right at street after the Blackwater River campground. (Small one lane boat landing road)
- Option 1
Follow road to boat launch. Put in at launch. This is your shortest run. - Option 2
Take the dirt road (when the paved road turns south) to the last point listed on the map. Grassy parking area and easy river access.
The second option is about 1.85 miles long.
