Greenbrier River
River DescriptionLat/longitude coords are approximate, from TopoZone. <br />SHUTTLE- put-in on the west fork,just west of Durbin. to reach the take-out- cross the bridge on co. rd 250-11, conntinue up the hill and make sharp left turn at stop sign still 250-11, veer left on cr-1 ,road winds around quite a bit. take left on cr-1-24 to the booming metropolis of hosterman. when in Hosterman the gravel road splits in 2 (both looking like driveways) stay to the right and arrive at nice parking lot in a couple hundred yards. DESCRIPTION- This truely is a beautiful,near wilderness river ! On river right the old RR tracks have been restored and are now the durbin scenic RR. At the terminus of this RR are 5 picnic tables, privy, and fire ring. beyond this the RR tracks are completely undermined for miles ! At high water levels this stretch will be completed Way to fast (about 1.5 hours) so you might want to put-in higher on one of the forks or continue down to Cass. Given the right water -levels this would make a great float fishing river with great riverside camp spots.. Many paddlers would only rate the WW class 1+ StreamTeam Status: unverified

I could use some help: I'm planning a 2 night kayak trip for 7 on the Greenbrier and want to do a section that has some Ievel IIs. We would like to camp along the river. We have our own kayaks, but would rather rent. We're coming from Ohio. Any suggestions?

My friends and I recently floated the Greenbrier down to Cass. There were 10 of us, and we reserved the "Durbin Rocket" cabooses on a Saturday (May 10th, 2008). We spent the night on the cabooses, which take you 5 miles down the river to a campground, and then leave you. The next morning, we floated the 11 miles or so down to Cass. It's a gorgeous river, and was fast-moving at just over 4 feet. There are two whitewater areas at that level, I would give the first a 2+, and the 2nd close to a 2, but neither were exceedingly technical - just long, high fast wave trains. It was cold and rainy, but WOW! Highly recommended. Probably not enough action for whitewater enthusiasts, but we were in open-water canoes. Edit
