Knightsville Dam Recreation Area Access

Knightsville Dam Recreation Area offers a picnic area with multiple tables, grilling sites, and flush toilets providing day-use access to the East Branch of the Westfield River for fishing and paddling.

The site features several miles of trails for hiking and mountain biking, with the 9-mile East Branch Trail connecting north to Chesterfield Gorge and south toward Huntington Center, making it a key access point for both flatwater and whitewater paddling depending on water releases from the dam.

Located off Route 112 in Huntington, the area is managed by the U. S. Army Corps of Engineers and includes a picnic shelter available for group reservation.
