Trip Report

ReporterJohn Sunda

the riverside campling area and ramp at the end of Bakertion Rd just uppstream of Dam #3 in WV has been purchased by River Riders and was posted. The signs say No trespassing and that a $25 annual pass must be purchased to use the ramp/park. I called River Riders today they said the $25 fee allows for ramp access and parking for one vehicle and is good for the caledar year. The pass (a sticker) must be placed on your front bumper. They are in the process of developing a day pass - probably good for one vehicle - that you could purchase at the office off of Rt 340. They haven't printed them yet and official policy is not set. The person said that for now to call them ahead of time - they probably would be willing to allow day access (for a fee) even though the program is not in place yet.
