Several possible put ins for West Fork of Little Beaver in order from upstream to downstream

1. Route 164 in Gavers. Shoulder parking. Not sure whether the land is posted as private property.

2. Stuebenville Pike Road south of Lisbon. County park board has a small lot there for parking and a small access site to the creek.

3. By the old power plant in the village of West Point.

If you paddle below West Point say down to the state park, there is supposed to be a dam after a pair of transmission lines cross the creek.

Here's a link to the Western PA canoe guide: http://www.canoedraft.shaw-weil.com/...est%20Fork.php
Guide says that 4.3 on the East Liverpool gage is a minimum level.

Watch out for strainers. It's a fairly narrow creek. You may want to check with Jerry to see if he paddled it today and what conditions are.

Have fun. Will be eager to hear what it's like.
