Winfield Locks & Dam Tailwater Access

This tailwater access point is located just downstream of the Winfield Locks & Dam on the Kanawha River and features a pier and parking lot.

The nearby Winfield Boat Ramp offers ample parking, a wide concrete launch ramp, dock, and paddle launch area, with the water here typically calm and lake-like due to the dam's influence.

Note that paddlers planning longer floats should put in upriver at Raymond City or take out downriver at Buffalo, as the proximity to the lock and dam system limits extended paddling opportunities.
