Description
This section is wild and scenic,  exemplary of West Virginia's stream network. Drop everything and run to the hills after heavy rainfall to catch this one, it drops quick! Scout every rapid, as portages may be necessary. Log jams are common. Best run in the tri-county area by far! Lat/long: 39deg36'01.79"N 78deg06'34.02"W
