Here is a small taste of West Virginia Class 5 White Water Rafting. This creek requires significant rain to run, but on days when the Upper Yough is too high to safely navigate, we have been known to guide commercial rafting trips on the Big Sandy, a class V tributary of the Cheat River.
It's also a favorite kayaking run among the Wilderness Voyageurs staff. Yesterday Susan and I braved the cold and sleet to take in the awesome scenery and excellent rapids. The level was perfect - about 6.5ft on the bridge gauge. We decided to film some of the rapids, and this video is my cut of the footage. Hope you enjoy!
Thanks for watching!

No, Jess, you would have fired up splat with a sick and perfect line, and then whined about your loose seat.
