Description: Beginning at Hendricks the river alternates between flowing pools and open Class II which are mostly standing waves. Although it passes a four-wheel encamp­ment and race course, the stream in general is pretty as it flows through wooded mountain sides. See Davidson, Eister, and Davidson's Wild Water West Virginia for details. [Checked 1985]
