About the bluestone river
The Bluestone River is a river in the Appalachian Mountains of eastern West Virginia and southwestern Virginia. The river stretches for about 77 miles, beginning in Virginia and flowing into West Virginia. It was once an important transportation route for timber, coal, and other resources. The Bluestone Dam, located in West Virginia, was constructed in the late 1940s for flood control and hydroelectric power generation. The dam created the Bluestone Lake, a popular destination for boating and fishing. The river and surrounding area also provide opportunities for hiking, camping, and wildlife viewing. Agricultural uses along the river include grazing and hay production. Overall, the Bluestone River has played an important role in the history and development of the region, and continues to provide valuable recreational and economic opportunities.
