Blackwater River State Park Access at Deaton Bridge (mile 31) serves as the official takeout point for the 31-mile designated paddling trail, featuring parking lots on both sides of the river, a large sandy beach, picnic areas, and restrooms.

The access is located just downstream of Deaton Bridge on river right and requires an entrance fee; note that the river is not navigable below this bridge, so all paddlers must exit here.

The park also offers camping, fishing in designated areas, and hiking trails, making it a full-service destination for paddlers and outdoor enthusiasts.
