LOCATION NOTES:

General Information:
Whitewater: put in parking is by permission of the Little Sandy Church. Be respectful and park in the far right rear area; the put in is behind the building.

Difficulty &  Must Haves:
Class III-IV. Do not paddle this river without appropriate training, rescue gear and leadership. River is remote so walking out would be difficult. Dress for the swim!

Nice to Have &  Human Interest:
About 7 miles total with the last mile on the Upper Big Sandy before the Rockville takeout. Narrow and very scenic; has a number of ledge drops which are mostly boat scoutable, with the exception of Falkenstein Falls on the Upper Big Sandy section. More fun in a creek boat.

Additional Notes & Shuttle Info:
Shuttle is pretty short but a high clearance vehicle is recommended. Parking at the take out is tight. 39°37’18.0″N 79°42’13.4″W
