Description
Gandy Creek provides the majority of flow to the Dry Fork of the Cheat at its confluence. It thus enjoys similar levels to the section of the Dry Fork of the Cheat that follows it. The Gandy Creek section, however, is more scenic because it is part of the National Forest, with a forest road paralleling it for most of its most of its length.
Combine the lower part of this with the Dry Fork for a good Class II-III run at 4.5 feet on the Hendricks gauge.
The put in location is shown as the parking area near the outflow from the sinks, since that's where this section starts. As noted in the comments it may be more convenient to choose a put in location a bit further downstream, where there are several options along route 29.
