Cheat Canyon is a beautiful 10-mile gorge where the Cheat River carves through the Allegheny Mountains, creating steep forested slopes. Once devastated by coal mining, it has rebounded into a haven for wildlife, with protected species like the Indiana bat and the flat-spired three-toothed snail. It is a popular destination for whitewater adventures, and is a very scenic stretch of the ALT.
