Middle Fork

If you plan on running the normal shuttle out of the Tygart gorge, walking up the tracks to the Carrolton covered bridge, do not drive around the 'ROAD CLOSED' concrete barriers even though there is room. The state police were waiting for us at the railroad crossing by the remains of the burnt down covered bridge, and gave me a ticket. I'm sure one of the locals called the police. There is nowhere to park above the barriers so I'm not sure what the other options are, possibly paying for the shuttle service from the Tygart river outfitters. They pick you up I believe river left just below LEFT HOOK on the Gorge.
