River Description

Cheat Albright PS Gauge

Alb. Bridge = (1.6 * Alb. PS) + 0.1

This reach has some rapids and a substantial amount of flatwater. Aside from its intrinsic value as an off-the-beaten-path run, it can serve as the end to a Big Sandy or Cheat Canyon run when the roads into the Canyon are in their worst wintry shape.
