River Description

This is a very small streambed with many hydraulics. One and possibly two portages.

Putin: Bridge on CR-5 west of Craigsville

Takeout: Confluence with the Gauley. Take CR-5 west from Craigsville and look for a 4wd dirt road on the left. It's about 1/2-3/4 mile down to the river. I wouldn't drive my 4wd truck down there.
