The wonderful West Virginia scenery and the beautiful way the water current moves down the stream are reasons enough to come here and paddle. This is a somewhat short section so you'll have to walk back to the start over
| and over. A good workout and a chance to spend some time outdoors have people coming from far and near. There aren’t any hotels right nearby but if you're willing to drive a short distance then no problem but you'd better reserve in advance because these hotels fill up quick. Whether you're whitewater rafting or kayaking there are lots of good rivers for that around here.
