Laurel Run (Cheat River trib.)

What is the best way to access this stream? It seems everywhere I've found to get near it, it is heavily posted NO TRESSPASSING

Now that the run is listed here, I thought I'd add some pics from a descent in the spring of '03. This run is a lot of fun, but don't even go if you're not prepared for some bush-wacking, steep portages, and steep tight drops. Don and I have run most of the drops, and I know Bobby Miller has run another one or two (Any input Bobby?). A couple are definately no-go's. On one decent, at Crash Landing, we came over the ledge to find another group of boaters. Three of the four boats on shore were pig-nosed and the guys decided to hike out from there. It will be a long day no matter what.

where is this? It empties into Cheat Canyon, river left, a mile or so below the put-in.

Super tight and steep.
If you boof hard you'll piton (or even end up on) the bank, if you don't boof, your butt is gonna hurt. What ya gonna do?
Nice ledgy slide.
