Bluestone River
The put in and take out positions on the map are wrong! You can put in where it is marked with a blue dot, but you'll be going through about 3 miles of bottom land and slow water. The red dot is not even on Bluestone River. It is positioned on a tributary of Wolf Creek and to get there from Bluestone you'll need to be able to paddle up a 40' water fall. It also states here to look at Brooks Branch which is only about 2' wide and also runs through farm land. Rich Creek is the same way. Put in on the ''Mill Dam Road'', 1 mile north on Rt.19 from where the blue dot is. It is on the right and you can access the river where the rapids start. It is private property you'll have to cross, but if you ask before you proceed they will let you. If you don't ask they will not let you. ''ASK BEFORE YOU UNLOAD'' There are 2 property owners there you can go through. There is also nowhere to get out at Eads Mill, but Pipestem Lodge is a couple miles down stream. It has lodging and a tram from the river to the lodge. Talk to one of the locals there on the Mill Dam and they can be great help....
