Cheat, Shavers Fork

This is a great float that is very scenic and remote. We floated this right at the minimum level and slightly below and didn't have any problems. There were a couple of shoals that we had to walk. I would estimate the mileage at 12 miles because the road sign says 11 miles to Beaver Creek. It took us about 5.5 hours to float this section. There is a good trail from the road down beaver creek to the river. It is probably only about 400 feet to the river. There is a large log jam that has to be portaged on the right side of an island about 1/3 of the way down. There are two river-wide man-made boulder 'dams' on the river at the cheat mountain club. We were able to run the first with no problem. There isn't many good lines on the second one. The line we took end up having large boulders in the drop which kind of hung us up temporarily.
