Description

This rarely run section of the Cheat River offers a technical descent through a narrow, boulder-strewn canyon with multiple blind drops and potential wood hazards. Paddlers should be prepared for tight lines between rock gardens and be vigilant for potential strainers, particularly during lower water levels when precise maneuvering is critical.
