The Marlin Run in Marlinton, WV has a rich history dating back to the 1800s when it was used to power a sawmill. Today, it serves as a popular recreational spot for kayaking and fishing enthusiasts. The Marlin Run is a tributary of the Greenbrier River and is fed by surface flow and snowpack from nearby mountains. The surrounding area is primarily used for agriculture, with a focus on hay production and livestock grazing. The Marlin Run is also used for irrigation purposes, providing water to nearby farms. The hydrology of the Marlin Run has been impacted by human activity, including logging and mining, but efforts are being made to restore the health of the waterway.
