Trip Details

Once a paddler leaves the immediate put in for the final 5.5 mile stretch of the ERCK Trail, she will encounter only one more sign of modern civilization.  This is located roughly 3 miles in on river left where Parkers Ferry Road runs along the river’s edge.  Sand bars are prevalent along this stretch when the Givhans Gauge reads under 3.2 feet, offering some of the more secluded breaking and camping options along the ERCK Trail.

FYI! The long dirt road into Sullivan's Ferry Landing will require a large 4x4. We did not get far May 2020.
