This is not the only paddling section in this river system, there are others too. If you're coming from Oak Hill it's not a long drive at all to the starting location, if you're not familiar with the area there's a road map further
down the page. The nature scenery of West Virginia and the playfulness of the water are in themselves reasons enough to come here to paddle. And of course, there are campgrounds nearby. If you have the time you can make this a two day trip, so why not pack your camp stove too.
You might be into whitewater rafting or kayaking or both, doesn't matter, there are lots of good spots for that around here. A bit of exercise and a chance to spend some time outdoors are sure to keep you coming back for more.
