River Trips: Cheat Canyon
The Cheat Canyon stretches 13 miles from Albright, WV to Jenkinsburg Bridge. This 13 mile section of river contains over 30 rapids rated Class III to Class V surrounded by the beauty of a spectacular wilderness canyon. The Cheat Canyon trip departs directly from our Visitor Center in Albright and quickly enters a remote, steep walled canyon. There are no roads, skyscrapers or condos – just some of the best whitewater in the East. While taking a break from the intense whitewater action you will see waterfalls coming into the canyon and unique rock formations. But don’t let the beauty of the Cheat Canyon fool you, she can dish out some pretty serious rafting. You will encounter such rapids as Decision (where you decide once and for all whether to continue your trek into the canyon), Big Nasty, Tear Drop, Coliseum, Fossil Falls, and of course a Swimmers Rapid at the end of the trip.
The season for running the Canyon is Spring. The Canyon shows her stuff when heavy rains and snowmelt equal higher water levels. The Cheat Canyon runs primarily from March through June, but we will run anytime we are experience good rainfall amounts (especially big summer storms and fall hurricane season).
Check out our Spring Warm-Up package and combine the Cheat Narrows and the Cheat Canyon for big savings. Also, combine the Cheat Canyon with the Upper Yough, rock climbing, wild caving or paintball for big savings.
