Rafting in the Cheat Canyon

Cheat Canyon RaftingThe Beast Of The East

Spring-time Cheat Canyon Rafting is the most fun you'll have rafting any river on the east. Only 40 minutes from Ohiopyle, the Cheat River, in Albright West Virginia is the east coast's largest uncontrolled watershed. This means that when the snows melt and the spring-time rains come, the Cheat River is at its raging best!

Our parent company, White Water Adventurers runs action packed rafting trips on the Cheat every spring.
