Description
Shuttle: Take WV 16 south of Hartland to Bickmore. Turn left on Fola Road (CR 17), then shortly thereafter bear left on Leatherwood Road and follow down off of the ridge to the confluence of Leatherwood Creek with its Right Fork. Description: This is oil and gas country. Many pipelines cross the creek. At low paddleable levels 2-4 portages may have to be made. A higher levels it requires a paddler to pay close attention to barely submerged pipelines. Not to be confused with the III-IV run in Webster County.
