Big Sandy Creek (Cheat trib.)

If you do the Little Sandy, you enter the Upper Big Sandy about 100 feet below the first rapid/ledge, so you miss only one pretty much insignificant rapid, unless you want to carry upstream and do it. (I'm not sure how feasible that is.) This avoids miles of flatwater on the Upper BS. (The Little Sandy is much more exciting/interesting than the upper Upper BS.) But the flatwater is nice, too, sometimes, if you like that sort of thing. . .
