Check out the The Jug, fun day
Good news, outdoor lovers! The Jug is officially restored and ready for summer fun, thanks to the hard work of the Division of Natural Resources and the West Virginia Department of Highways environmental engineering team.
You know what that means? It's time to grab your kayak and head Tyler County! The Jug's "handle" is a three and a half mile loop that takes you up stream on the current and brings you right back where you started, meaning NO SHUTTLE NECESSARY!
It’s a must-visit spot for all kayakers and fishermen this summer, and an easy float where you can expect a few easy Class I riffles.

Just a note: while the area offers vehicle access, there is no boat ramp available. This was a deliberate choice to protect the unique and sensitive mussel population in the area.
The water trail conditions we experienced were great, with the Little gage at 3.2 and Middlebourne at 10.8.
