CLASS I-II     7.9 miles
  This section of Greenbrier River - West Fork is 7.9 miles long and has been rated as a class I-II section by American Whitewater. If you've been out of state whitewater rafting and kayaking you might find the rivers here more forgiving, so better not forget that quite a few of the sections here are pretty easy. This is not the only paddling stretch in this river system, there are others too. A good workout and just hanging out with mother nature have a lot of people coming here. This stretch is mid length, suitable for an afternoon trip. Some people
    prefer whitewater rafting and some kayaking, either way this is an area with plenty of spots for that. You might have to settle for a hotel a bit away from the river if you want to stay the night, but do book a room before you come because it is a very popular destination. The
wonderful Pocahontas County scenery and the sparkling of the sunlight on the water beats anything. If you're a camper you can camp at one of the great campgrounds nearby.
