The Williams River starts in Pocahontas County, nearly 4,000 feet up, and flows 33 miles before it joins the Gauley River.
Historically, the area was remote and difficult to settle. The watershed was mainly used for its timber and coal resources.
Today, most of the land is part of the Monongahela National Forest. The river is now prized for recreation, especially as one of the state's best trout fishing streams.
