Whitewater - Middle Fork River/Tygart Gourge
Description
3 miles on the class IV Middle Fork River (more like a creek) and then 4 miles on the much larger Tygert River Gourge. A solid class IV run with higher water on the gourge producing a few class VI+ to V rapids. This is one of the shortest shuttles in the state - doable with a bicycle (a little hilly) Map (pdf).
