West Virginia

West Virginia is known as the Mountain State, and the unique topography gives the state an abundance of rivers and streams, with waters ranging from small headwater brook trout streams to raging whitewater rivers to large, navigable rivers transporting the commerce of the nation. In fact, West Virginia has approximately 32,260 miles of river—of which only 10 miles are designated as wild and scenic—3/100ths of 1% of the state’s river miles.
