Description
Teter Creek enters from the right just below the bridge and this puts the paddler at the top of Rough Run Rodeo, named by guides of Rough Run outfitters, the first rafting company to offer commercial trips here. RRO became a casualty of the '85 WV floods when the owner was bought out by Appalachian Wildwater. RRR (Cl III) offers a very fine glassy wave with just enough break to keep you on. This wave is near the left bank and a sweet auto-return eddy lies close to the remains of an old stone bridge abutment. The curving runout offers more catch-on-the-fly surfing.
