Blackwater Outdoor Adventures
Parsons, West Virginia
Blackwater Outdoor Adventures is a full-service river outfitter based at 60 Location Road in Parsons, West Virginia, in Tucker County, with a second base at its St. George River Outpost downstream. Guided fishing is one of four product lines and is sold as a distinct, separately priced service with its own season and inclusions rather than being bundled into a rental. The other three are whitewater rafting, covering both the Cheat Canyon and milder family runs; flatwater rentals of kayaks, tubes, canoes and stand-up paddleboards; and camping. The company positions itself geographically rather than by pedigree, describing itself as the closest outfitter to Canaan Valley, Thomas, Davis and Blackwater Falls State Park, which places it at the head of the Cheat drainage where most of the region’s visitors already are. It does not publish an owner name, a founding date or a guide count on its own site, and enquiries are handled by phone or by email through the office at Parsons.
