CLASS IV 1.8 miles
The Up Forest Service Road to Seneca Creek section of Waites Run in West Virginia is 1.8 miles long and it is classified as a class IV section by American Whitewater. The average West Virginia whitewater rafting or kayaking river tends to be a bit easier to master than those in other states, so you'd better keep in mind that the rivers in this state are less demanding. For all you camping people there are campgrounds nearby. The nearby hotels are a bit away from the river, and if you make reservations in advance you're all set. No matter if you're whitewater
rafting or kayaking there are lots of good spots for that around here. There are no other sections to paddle along Waites Run than the Up Forest Service Road to Seneca Creek section. This stretch is short so you'll have to walk back to the start over and over. A bit of exercise
and just being out on the river for a while will have you coming back for more.
