Greenbrier Watershed

Greenbrier Watershed The Greenbrier River Watershed Association promotes the maintenance, preservation, protection and restoration of the Greenbrier River.

Our mailing address is PO Box 1419 Lewisburg WV 24901. Office - 1046 Washington Street East Suite 15 Lewisburg WV From the wilds of Blister Swamp high in the Allegheny Mountains until it flows into the New River Gorge National River near Hinton, the Greenbrier River has carved its way almost two hundred miles through some of the most beautiful and unspoiled terrain on the East Coast. It is the

longest free flowing river in the East, and boasts two of our newest wilderness areas, Spice Run and Big Draft. One of the nation’s oldest rail to trail conversions, the scenic Greenbrier River Trail parallels the river for almost eighty miles in Pocahontas and Greenbrier Counties, affording access to the river and some of the surrounding state parks and forest and the Monongahela National Forest. The river and its tributaries provide drinking water for communities, water for agriculture and recreation, and home for abundant wildlife, including bald eagles, lynx, black bear, river otters and myriad of birds and mammals. The Greenbrier River Watershed Association, founded in 1992, is one of the oldest watershed associations in the state. With this website, we hope to give the Greenbrier River Watershed residents and visitors the tools they need to take responsible care of the land that is home to the waters. Most importantly we hope that the people of these beautiful mountains get outdoors and enjoy wild and wonderful West Virginia.

It's all about the river and our spiritual connection to it that binds us together. All are welcome.

It's all about the river and our spiritual connection to it that binds us together. All are welcome.

Join West Virginia Rivers Coalition, Greenbrier Watershed, and Greenbrier Valley Pride for Paddle with Pride on the Greenbrier River on Sunday, June 7, 2026 for a relaxed, community-centered float from the public access point at Caldwell, WV to Ronceverte Island Park, followed by an after party at The Sportsman Tavern in Ronceverte, WV.

Our goal for this float is to create space for everyone to feel welcome, visible, and at home on the water with us. Whether you're a seasoned paddler or just getting started, this is a space to connect, celebrate, and enjoy one of West Virginia's most beloved rivers together.

Getting people on the river is one of the best ways we can protect our water resources. People who spend time outside — building real connections to beloved places like the Greenbrier River — are often the ones most willing to stand up and protect them.

At first glance the river is clear and beautiful this morning, while out doing our water quality sampling project. But low water means the water warms up more quickly from the exposed rocks and algae is forming. This is something we observe and record every month that we go out.

This is a very concerning spill in our watershed. We hope all accident victims are OK.
