West Virginia whitewater - Greenbrier River, Greenbrier Monroe County Greenbrier Monroe county, Fort Spring to Alderson section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.   CLASS I-II     6.1 miles   The Greenbrier can pretty much be paddled (very easily) in a canoe/kayak along it's entire length.  The sections from Alderson to The New River have some very hairy rapids.  Class III+. Says E. Meadows There is a brand new (and long needed!)river access boat and canoe slide with steps at Fort Spring that goes down to a little beach--makes it easy to get to the river. Although you have listed this stretch of the river as Class I-II, I believe others have noted that there is some Class III whitewater on the fairly challenging Rattlesnake Rapids     which are about halfway(?) down the run. Many have overturned their canoes on these rapids. This is a very beautiful run on the gorgeous Greenbrier. Says vivian The Fort Spring to Alderson stretch of Greenbrier River in West Virginia is 6.1 miles long and is according to American Whitewater a class I-II section of whitewater. The nature scenery of Greenbrier Monroe County and the playfulness of the water make the trip here worthwhile. There are campgrounds quite near the river where you can camp. Getting a good workout and just being out on the river for a while have a lot of people coming here. The Fort Spring to Alderson stretch is the only paddling stretch along Greenbrier River. The average whitewater rafting or kayaking river tends to be a bit easier to master in this state than those in other states, so better   not forget that rivers here are not as hard as elsewhere. You might have to settle for a hotel a bit away from the river if you want to stay the night, and if you make reservations in advance you're all set.
