Worthington to Monongah Community Float

Thank you to everyone that joined us on Saturday for a float from Worthington to Monongah. We had 17 floaters from Fairmont, Morgantown, Clarksburg, Lost Creek, and Jane Lew join us.

Floaters prepare to launch at Worthington City Park below the Worthington Dam.

We had beautiful weather as we took in the sights and sounds along the West Fork.

The first half of the float takes paddlers through a large horseshoe bend. While most of the river is slow and deep, there are a few section of faster flowing riffles.
