River Description

Waites Run is a microcreek flowing out of George Washington National Forest near Wardensville, WV. It will only have water after prolonged wet periods and is extremely difficult to catch up. The uppermost part of this run is believed to be Class III-IV. It appears to ease up a bit downstream, but shouldn't be taken lightly because it is so small. Several strainers were noted during a December, 2002 scouting trip.
