If you're coming from Morgantown it's not a long drive at all to the put-in location, as you can see on the road map further down. Whitewater rafting and kayaking spots in West Virginia are easier than the national norm, so better not forget that many of the rivers in this state are not very demanding. |

| that can be paddled as well. There's camping available near Sovern Run. Since you're on this site you are probably into whitewater rafting or kayaking, either way around here you'll find a large number of good rivers.
