Shavers Fork
Shavers Fork of the Cheat River is situated in the Allegheny Mountains of eastern West Virginia, USA. It is 88.5 mi (142.5 km) long〔 and forms the Cheat at its confluence with Black Fork at Parsons.〔DeLorme (1997). ''West Virginia Atlas & Gazetteer''. Yarmouth, Maine: DeLorme. ISBN 0-89933-246-3.〕 Its upper reaches are the highest river in the eastern United States.〔Bender, Steve (2002) (“Cheat River: West Virginia” ) ''Southern Living'', Southern Progress Corporation, Spring 2002.〕
==Geography==
Shavers Fork, via the Cheat, Monongahela and Ohio Rivers, is part of the watershed of the Mississippi River, draining an area of 214 mi² (554 km²).〔 It flows for much of its length through the Monongahela National Forest, and drains mostly rural and forested areas. 97% of the river's basin is forested, and two-thirds of it is public land.〔
Shavers Fork rises in north-central Pocahontas County at Thorny Flat, highest peak of Cheat Mountain (4,848 ft/1,478 m) and the site of Snowshoe Mountain ski resort. Its headwaters flow through the ghost town of Spruce. The river then flows generally north-northeastwardly through Randolph and Tucker Counties, where its valley is the trough between Cheat Mountain (to the west) and Shavers Mountain (to the east). Settlements along its course include Cheat Bridge, Bemis, Bowden, and Porterwood. It ultimately joins the Black Fork at Parsons to form the Cheat at an elevation of 1621 ft (494 m).〔〔〔
