Paddling near Huntington, WV

Huntington sits in Cabell County at the confluence of the Ohio River and the Guyandotte River, putting two major waterways at the city's edge. The Ohio here is wide, pool-like flatwater between the Robert C. Byrd and Greenup dams, while the Guyandotte Water Trail runs roughly 166 miles down to the Ohio. Quiet reservoirs like Beech Fork Lake add close-to-town paddling on the western WV lowlands.
