On Saturday, July 17th, WV Rivers will be holding a Rivers Celebration in Tucker County, WV! We’re spending the day along the Black Fork of the Cheat River in Hendricks and would love to have you join us.

It’s been quite a while since we’ve been able to gather together and we’re so excited to do so in one of the most beautiful places we know!

We hope you’ll join us for a day of free, family friendly activities. Come on out for the guided mushroom hunt, snorkeling, a river float, and more!

During the evening we’re hosting a ticketed after party featuring music with the Chaga Tea Project, Mediterranean dinner from White Grass Cafe, and libations.

Meet new people, catch up with longtime friends, and celebrate our wild & wonderful rivers and streams!
