Description: For over two decades Wildwater West Virginia has been helping canoeists, kayakers, and rafters run rivers in the Mountain State. Now in its original single volume, this guide presents the combined knowledge of hundreds of paddlers, showing the way to unexpected beauty and excitement. From easy float trips to extreme steep-creek boating, this guide has something for everyone. Consistent with the vision of its original authors, Wildwater West Virginia has recently been updated by long-time river rat, Charlie Walbridge, who has made this state his second home for over twenty years. Included in this new edition are up-to-date gauging information (with phone recordings and computer bulletin boards), revised maps, and river data on a number of new runs, including Mill Creek, Mann's Creek, Upper Otter, Seneca, Red Creek, the Upper Little Kanawha, and Fikes Creek. More than an encyclopedia of mountain rivers and hydrologic data, this book is also a collection of experiences and an introduction to some of the most amazing geography in the East. Destined to ride in the dry bags and glove compartments of paddlers nationwide, Wildwater West Virginia makes a strong plea for preservation of our water resources at a time when so many people take for granted these natural treasures.
