Jenkinsburg Bridge Access
Jenkinsburg Bridge Access
Jenkinsburg Bridge Access provides public river access at the confluence of Big Sandy Creek and the Cheat River, serving as a keystone recreation area for whitewater paddling and hiking. The 13.
5-acre property managed by West Virginia Land Trust offers access to technical whitewater sections (rated for experienced paddlers only) and the Allegheny Trail; however, vehicle access via the historic Jenkinsburg Bridge has been permanently closed as of March 2025, requiring visitors to approach via Route 26 through Bruceton Mills/Valley Point.
The area is known for swimming holes including "Blue Hole" and serves as a popular destination for locals, though the unimproved road access and remote location require high-clearance vehicles and careful navigation.
