Cranberry River
AI-suggested draft · review before you go
The Cranberry River in the Monongahela National Forest is one of West Virginia's premier wild trout streams, known for its native brook trout population and scenic wilderness setting. The river flows through the Cranberry Wilderness and Backcountry area, providing miles of quality water accessible only by foot. Small dry flies and nymphs are most effective in the clear, cold pools and riffles.
