The wonderful West Virginia scenery and the playfulness of the water are in themselves reasons enough to come here to paddle. The campgrounds here at Red Creek are pretty good. Whether you're whitewater rafting or kayaking there are lots of good spots for that around here. A good workout and a chance to spend some time outdoors are great attractions
for lots of people. No need to look hard for hotels, but do book a room before you come because it is a very popular destination. This is one of a small number of paddling stretches in this river system, there are a few others too. This section is long enough to enjoy a good non
stop paddle, it's good length for a morning trip.
Briefly about the general area: Red Creek generally gets lots of precipitation; during the month of July you get the most rain around here while February is the month with the least amount of precipitation. Hoyt Pennington Spring is an inspiring location to explore while you're here, and why not take a refreshing hike along the Boars Nest Trail. The warmest time of the year at Red Creek arrives with high temperatures in the 80's. For the period of the moonlight hours it's usually in the 50's.
For the duration of the wintertime the highs are ordinarily in the 30's while Red Creek nighttime low temperatures all through the wintertime are in the 10's. This river is so good. A short spree to Wyatt Farm Spring is always worthwhile; the snow is fine at Canaan Valley.
