Cheat River
Location: Southwestern Pennsylvania
The Cheat River flows through a remote, narrow canyon. What truly makes this river a whitewater paradise is the multitude of hard rapids in an extremely remote environment. The Cheat River is generally less crowded than neighboring rivers, providing solitude. There is a trail that leads out of the canyon but at that point you are still a long way from civilization.
