No site in WV DEP's access file falls on Hayes Gap Run, so the way in is public ground and road crossings rather than a marked landing. 1 block of public land touches the river, which is where you can stand without asking — 21 acres between them, counting each unit whole rather than the part beside the water. The nearest town we map is Waynesboro, 50.2 miles from the river's midpoint in a straight line, with the water north-west of the town.
| Town | Distance | Direction to the river |
|---|---|---|
| Waynesboro | 50.2 mi | north-west |
Straight-line distance from the river's midpoint, and the direction you would travel from the town to reach it. The roads are not mapped here, so there is no drive time — a travel time nobody measured is the kind of number that gets somebody lost.
Ownership from PAD-US as the state publishes it. Where a block has its own page, the name links to it. The river miles are how far this river's drawn axis runs inside each block, measured here; the acreage is the whole unit's, most of which is nowhere near this water.
