Trip Report
| Reporter | Mike Beswick |
This section of the Greenbrier is very popular with all manner of river patrons, including tubers, float fishermen, whitewater boaters and anything else that will float. There are a number of class 2 rapids to spice things up. Towards the end of the trip be on the lookout for Anvil rock, a great spot for showing off your diving skills ( close to 20 feet high ). On summer days, you'll probably be sharing this jump rock with a number of inebriated leapers, each intent on proving the validity of natural selection. Just a little further downstream is Stuart's, a river side restaurant, famed for it's hot dogs. They will invite you in, soggy or not, and you can have a few libations while watching the parade of tubes, rafts etc. float by. Great section to cool off in the heat of summer
