River Description

The river starts out very gently meandering down the narrow, technical, rocky gorge.

Warm water releases from the Power Plant make for some great winter boating! We ran this river after two months of solid sub freezing temperatures in WV, and the water is about 45 degrees because it was used as a coolant for the power plant just upstream. We did not see a spec of ice on the river all day. Before we put on, we looked at the nearest river (Abrams Creek) and it was frozen.
