At a Glance

Shavers Fork Backcountry protects a remote river corridor in Randolph County’s Monongahela National Forest, offering dispersed camping, backcountry trails, and native brook trout fishing along the Shavers Fork of the Cheat River. Multiple trail access points from Forest Road 92 lead to riverside campsites and connections into the Laurel Fork Wilderness for multi-day backpacking adventures. Primitive facilities and rugged terrain make this area ideal for experienced anglers and backpackers seeking immersive wilderness experiences away from developed recreation sites.
