Big Sandy Creek (Cheat River)
- Big Sandy Creek (Cheat River)
"This article refers to the Cheat River tributary in Pennsylvania and West Virginia. For the similarly-named river that forms the border between Kentucky and West Virginia, see Big Sandy River (Ohio River)."
Big Sandy Creek is a small mountain stream which begins in Fayette County, Pennsylvania and flows into Preston County, West Virginia in the United States. The Big Sandy flows through Bruceton Mills and Rockville before crashing down the mountainside and reaching its confluence with the Cheat River at the abandoned town of Jenkinsburg.
The Big Sandy is a popular whitewater kayaking run, a destination for paddlers from many states in the late Winter and early Spring. The most commonly run section is the Class-V Lower Big Sandy, from Rockville to Jenkinsburg, which contains two runnable waterfalls: Wonder Falls (Class IV) and Big Splat (Class 5.1).
