FS 17 to Burner section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.
CLASS I-II 3 miles
The natural beauty of West Virginia and the beautiful way the water current moves down the stream have people coming here. The FS 17 to Burner stretch of Little River in Pocahontas County is 3 miles long and is rated by American Whitewater as a class I-II section. Whitewater rafting and kayaking spots in this state tend to be more forgiving than the national average, so better not forget that lots of rivers here are good for beginners. This is a somewhat short section so it's not like you're gonna spend hours on the river in one stretch. The campgrounds
here at Little River are pretty good. Little River doesn't have a lot of paddling stretches, the FS 17 to Burner stretch is the only one. Whether you're whitewater rafting or kayaking in this general area you'll find lots of paddling places. A good workout and spending some quality
time in nature will have you coming back for more. You might have to settle for a hotel a bit away from the river if you want to stay the night, but if you don’t have reservations you might end up sleeping in your car.
