The Cranberry River begins on Cranberry Mountain at a high elevation (4,600 feet), near Cranberry Glades. It flows slowly through the glades for a few miles and then rushes quickly for 25 miles until it meets the Gauley River.
The area was too rugged to attract many early settlers. In the late 1800s and early 1900s, it was heavily logged and became more populated.
Today, the river and the land around it are part of the Monongahela National Forest. It’s a popular recreation spot, especially for trout fishing, kayaking, and hiking.
