The River House Lodge rents and transports kayaks, tubes, party boats and rafts! We will shuttle your boat, or our rental boat anywhere on the Cheat River Water Trail. The shuttle service is free for those renting our equipment. We also will shuttle your boat for the Cheat River Narrows picking up at Pringle Run takeout.

We offer tubes, rafts, kayaks (hard shell and inflatable), party boats and swimming floats for six, and pedal boats.

Eagle Flyway

Cheat Valley from Parsons to Cadell has become a habitat for the Bald Eagle—thanks to the efforts of the Friends of the Cheat. These magnificent creatures are often seen by our customers on their float trips from Erwin and Riverview Lounge to Rowlesburg.
