The easiest takeout is just beyond a bridge crossing Whiteday Creek about a 1/2 mile before the confluence of the Monongahela River.

Ran this at about ~5.3' the other day and it was pretty scrapey below Smithtown Rd to Opekiska in
alot of spots, ~6' would be needed to get rid of all scrapes I believe. Edit

Took the Whiteday Creek trip a few weeks ago when americanwhitewater.org posted the river at 8.35';
this was a great level to run with some rapids around a (-III), but a very good rush, if you manage
to fall in it's not a bad swim, just watch your butt on the rocks! At 4-6' it is a great run for
exciting II's, trip total time little over an hour or so, very nice little run after work, easy
put-in and a nice beachy type bank at take-out Edit

There is a tree across the river in the last set of rapids, just before the flat water above the
last bridge. At 7' it is crossable, anything less is a trapping hazzard. Edit
