I understand Buffalo Creek is stocked with Trout.  Where along Buffalo Creek is it stocked? Says Giles Bowman

The put-in is not too far from Charleston, if you're not familiar with the area there's a road map further down the page. The rivers for whitewater rafting and kayaking in this state are often easier than in other states, so keep in mind that many of the rivers in this state are not very demanding.

    so better bring some good walking shoes. And of course, there are campgrounds nearby. Getting some good exercise and just hanging out with mother nature have people coming from far and near. The scenic beauty of Logan County
