Duck Hand Launch Site
Duck Hand Launch Site
Duck Hand Launch Site is a WV Division of Natural Resources access point on the Elk River featuring a concrete/timber slide boat launch and approximately 12 gravel parking spots, located just below a bridge near the town of Duck.
The steep concrete slide ends in a deep pool and can be difficult for kayak entry; paddlers seeking easier access should consider using Tate Creek access 0. 8 miles upstream. The site offers unrestricted hours and is positioned 0.
8 miles downstream from Tate Creek, making it useful for shorter paddling trips through a series of shoals.
