In addition to providing open space and enhanced recreational opportunities to residents and visitors, the Trail will be designed to “thread” communities together along routes designed by the communities themselves. The Trail is expected to help the region continue to compete aggressively with other rapidly growing and quickly developing metro areas of the country by providing local amenities for area residents, visitors, and businesses.

It is quite probable that those construction workers built their own pole lean-tos, brush shelters, or some type of dug-outs. Before Cass was incorporated and named in 1902, it could be that the men with families who came early to work for the company built small rough-lumber cottages off company property.

  • Upper Mon River Trail
    Upper Monongahela River Water Trail Map and Guide Water trails are recreational waterways on a lake, river, or ocean between specific locations, containing access points and day-use and/or camping sites for the boating public. Water trails emphasize low-impact use and promote stewardship of the resources. Explore this unique West Virginia and Pennsylvania water trail. For your safety and enjoyment: Always wear a life jacket. Obtain proper instruction in boating skills. Know fishing and boating regulations. Be prepared for river hazards. Carry proper equipment. THE MONONGAHELA RIVER The Monongahela River, locally know as “the Mon,” forms at the confluence of the Tygart and West Fork Rivers in Fairmont West Virginia. It flows north 129 miles to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, where it joins the Allegheny River to form the Ohio River. The upper section, which is described in this brochure, extends 68 miles from Fairmont to Maxwell Lock and Dam in Pennsylvania. The Monongahela River formed some 20 million years ago. When pioneers first saw the Mon, there were many places where they could walk across it. The Native American named the river “Monongahela,” which is said to mean “river with crumbling or falling banks.” The Mon is a hard-working river. It moves a large amount of water, sediment, and freight. The average flow at Point Marion is 4,300 cubic feet per second. The elevation on the Upper Mon ranges from 891 feet in Fairmont to 763 feet in the Maxwell Pool. PLANNING A TRIP Trips on the Mon may be solitary and silent, or they may provide encounters with motor boats and water skiers or towboats moving barges of coal or limestone.

  • Roadless Rule Map & Fact Sheet
    West Virginians for Public Lands The Roadless Rule in West Virginia The “Roadless Rule” was established by the US Forest Service in 2001 after an extensive inventory and mapping of undeveloped public lands. Today the Roadless Rule conserves 44.8 million acres in 37 states. There are 182,000 roadless acres among the three national forests within West Virginia. The Monongahela National Forest has the largest share at 162,000 acres, followed by the George Washington NF (15,700 ac) and the Jefferson NF (4,800 ac). The Monongahela National Forest has over 2,100 miles of roads. Nowhere in West Virginia is further than 3.2 miles as-the-crow-flies from a road. Roadless areas make up less than a fifth of the Monongahela National Forest and just over 1 percent of the state of West Virginia. Roadlessness is a rare and valuable quality for both recreation and wildlife. Roadless areas are often remote backcountry areas. In West Virginia, the vast majority of roadless areas are managed by the Forest Service for recreation and include some of the most iconic landscapes in the state: Roaring Plains, Seneca Creek, Cheat Mountain, Canaan Loop, Tea Creek, North Fork Mountain, and Hills Creek Falls. In many cases our roadless areas adjoin designated Wilderness Areas, creating larger intact ecosystems, providing greater recreation opportunity, and enhancing the “wild and wonderful” qualities of these regions. Dolly Sods, Otter Creek, and Cranberry Wilderness are surrounded by roadless areas. Logging is generally prohibited in roadless areas, but the Roadless Rule does contain practical exceptions: firefighting, personal firewood gathering, and habitat imProvement for rare species are allowed.
