The Narrows is a popular reach of the Cheat River located downstream of Rowlesburg. During normal flows, the Narrows offers Class II and III rapids that becomes increasingly more difficult as you paddle downstream. Our monitoring location is located at "Fascination Alley" just downstream of "Calamity Rock". It is also a popular spot for squirt boaters to practice their mystery move!
The parking area is a gravel pull-off along Route 72. Please be careful pulling off or merging with traffic.

Note: this is not a designated swimming area. Swim at your own risk.
Keep your distance from other people.
Practicing social distancing is still essential. Only go to the beach if you are able to keep 6 feet or 2 meters away from others. Follow the instructions provided by your local health authorities. If your community has asked that you remain indoors and away from others, do so. Spending a day in any crowded place is the worst thing we can do for our most vulnerable right now and will counter our efforts to curb the virus’s spread.
