A good workout and spending some quality time in nature are sure to keep you coming back for more. There are a few other stretches in this river system that can be paddled as well. If you have the time you can make this a two
day trip, so pack your sleeping bag. This section of Birch River in West Virginia is 10.5 miles long and has been determined by American Whitewater to be a class I-III section. Some people prefer whitewater rafting and some kayaking, either way this is an area with plenty of spots
