Description
Lat/longitude coords are approximate, from TopoZone. The following information from John Duke Access points: Put-in at the public access parking lot at the Route 220 bridge Take-out at the public river access near the Trough General store River Description: Although not a true whitewater run this is a beautiful stretch of river! I highly recommend this run when the upper canyons (Hopeville, Smokehole, and Moorefield)are too low. The first five miles are rolling farmland until a railroad bridge bridge is passed. Then 1000 foot walls converge to form "THE TROUGH" for the next 6 miles. There are many primative campsites on river right inside the trough, but get there early the best get taken FAST. Accommodations: Many Motels in Moorefield and Romney Fishing: Great fishing for bass,catfish and carp.. E-mail me! with any questions
