Blackwater Supermission

On February 9th 2009, a small group of kayakers gathered in Thomas, WV for a day on the Blackwater River. They paddled the North Fork into the Lower Section.

Brian Kirk, Jake Greenbaum, Jeremy Laucks and Scott Wootten paddled the 15 mile whitewater journey, while several other paddlers chose to do laps on the North Fork.

This 'supermission' allowed the paddlers to get the best of both worlds; low volume steep creeking and big volume river-running. Additionally, they were able to avoid the steep and slippery hike back to the put-in of the North Fork.
