The Cheat River

By

On November 5, 2015 the WooFDriver took the PAK on a tour of the Allegheny Highlands Trail in West Virginia. The trail is 24.5 miles long through countryside, mountains, small towns, farmlands and parallels the Cheat River for several miles.

The Cheat River is 78.3 miles long and flows into the Monongahela River. It is among the largest watersheds in the eastern United States that is not dammed, it flows freely. There are several theories of how the river got its name, with the most common being from the deceptive deep sections that contain whirlpools that drown men ‘cheating’ them of their lives.
