The Moorefield River is also well known as the South Fork of the South Branch of the Potomac located in Hardy County. This run has very clear water and offers beautiful scenery with many wildlife encounters including beavers, deer, and a variety of birds. The first half of this run is not difficult and then as it cuts through Moorefield Gorge the gradient picks up. Most of the rapids are open with a few that are tight and blocked with boulders. Scouting is recommended throughout this run.
