About This Access Site
This is a whitewater put-in access point on the Cheat River at its confluence with Shavers Fork in Randolph County, West Virginia. The site serves as a popular starting point for whitewater paddlers looking to run sections of the Cheat River, which is known for its dynamic rapids and scenic gorge. The specific location in this remote area of West Virginia provides access to one of the region's premier whitewater paddling destinations. Paddlers should be aware that this is a whitewater environment and water conditions can vary significantly depending on recent rainfall and dam releases upstream. The Cheat River system is popular among intermediate to advanced paddlers due to its challenging rapids and technical sections.
