CLASS II-III(IV) 3 miles
The Tom Honaker Road to Bluestone Lake stretch of Pipestem Creek in Summers County is 3 miles long and is according to American Whitewater a class II-III(IV) section of whitewater. The natural beauty of Summers County and the beautiful way the water current moves down the stream will make you feel great. Whitewater rafting and kayaking spots in West Virginia tend to be more forgiving than the national average, so keep in mind that a large number of rivers in this state are quite easy. Pipestem Creek doesn't have a lot of paddling sections, the Tom Honaker
Road to Bluestone Lake section is the only one. Getting some good exercise and spending some quality time in nature are great reasons to come. This is a bit of a short stretch so you'll have to walk back to the start over and over. There are campgrounds quite near the river where
you can camp. You might be into whitewater rafting or kayaking or both, doesn't matter, there are lots of good rivers for that around here. The put-in location is a reasonable drive from Beckley, there's a road map further down the page with more info on that.
