Briefly about the general area: The slopes of Canaan Valley are so inviting nobody can resist, and do take a hike on the Boars Nest Trail. For the duration of the long summer days at Red Creek highs are typically in the 80's. Throughout the moonlight
hours it's typically in the 50's. The cold days of the winter come with highs in the 30's with winter lows in the 10's overnight here at Red Creek. Red Creek commonly gets lots of rain; the month with most of the rain is July, and February on the other hand is the driest. It's
always magnificent to have a look at Wyatt Farm Spring, and Hoyt Pennington Spring is a perfect local attraction. This river is so good.
