Burnsville Lake, WV question
How far up the Little Kanawha can you go there? Can you get all the way to the bridge? How about to Falls Mill? Never been there before, going this weekend.

Havnt been there in ages of course you can its a class IV ,meaning white water.
At falls mill all you will see are huge rubber rafts(commercial) and kayacks,and basking copperheads on the rocks. Attempting it from the lake in say a bass boat? |

Lacking recent info or being there,id say at a guess one can go so far then either have full coverage insurance with a desire to collect or turn around.Found out years ago one can go up,but sometimes not come back easily,as to much current and fiberglass does not like rocks.it is also shallow in places.Havnt a clue if you can get up to the bridge area,think that is dependent upon flow at the time.Might check coe(corps of eng) stats for or if the gates open.If shut depends upon how deep it is.Ive only been there twice and years ago.
Born and raised in Huntington. Dont know any McCoys do ya? (joke) one of my friends was one |

Thanks, I'll do that. I'll be in aluminum, so I can go pretty shallow. I live in Mingo Co., so I know plenty of Hatfield's and McCoy's.

I spent some time back in 72 rebuilding houses at buffalo creek,you have more timber rattlers that I can shake a stick at.Just about everyone in Wayne is a davis or a hatfield .
Can no longer bump into John Denver in some small backwater mining town(I have),but can always on bridge day go watch the idiots jump. Have a nice trip,sorry I didnt have recent info. Last edited by lilmule; 04-10-12 at 10:22 PM. |
