This run is perfect for an intermediate paddlers first try at a small river/creek experience that includes fairly continuous rapids. It provides good practice of eddy hopping and boat scouting.
Directions:
Smoke Hole Canyon is in eastern WV, south of Petersburg. The put-in is just downstream of the 220 bridge (Google directions below). The take-out is about 5 miles north on Smoke Hole Rd. at the small bridge.
