Trip Report

Gauge Reading6000 cfs at CHEAT RIVER AT ALBRIGHT, WV

The Cheat is the biggest free flowing (undammed) watershed in the East. With severe thunderstorms multiple days prior, including the night before, this is the Big Nasty Rapid at Cheat's 'The Beast of the East' level. Rafting is via a 'wild side' small raft - Yeah there is a raft. We held our own here in this section, but see 'Why Called 'The Beast of the East' River and 'Big Nasty' rapids' photo & 'When 'Big Nasty' at 'Beast Level' Chews you up and spits you out' photos when things got even more interesting.
