This trip begins at Blackwater Falls State Park, with a couple days of preparations where we will get to know each other, build community, and learn some important skills for living comfortably in the backcountry. On day three, we will begin our backpacking trip, navigating some of the scenic wonders of the Monongahela National Forest for 3-4 days. The next 2-3 days of our program will focus on river travel. We will camp on the banks of the Cheat River while stand up paddle boarding, canoeing, and rafting through one of the oldest and most scenic rivers in the eastern United States. We partner with Blackwater Outdoor Adventures for our boating adventures. On the final days of the program we will have the opportunity to visit Thomas and Davis, in Tucker County, WV; two small towns filled with art galleries and small town mountain charm.
