About the guyandotte river


The Guyandotte River is located in West Virginia, stretching over 160 miles from its headwaters in Wyoming County to its confluence with the Ohio River in Huntington. The river has played a significant role in the state's history, serving as a major transportation route for timber and coal during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The river is also home to several reservoirs, including the Guyandotte Reservoir, R.D. Bailey Lake, and East Lynn Lake, which provide flood control and recreational opportunities such as boating and fishing. However, these reservoirs have also had negative impacts on the river's hydrology and water quality. In recent years, efforts have been made to improve these issues and promote sustainable agricultural practices along the river's banks.
