Most residents of a community dealing with the impacts of a defunct dam — degraded water quality, heightened flood risk, and increased dangers for water recreators — are happy to see it go.

Every year since 2018, residents of West Milford, WV have taken their happiness a step further.

In Harrison County, West Virginia, the Clarksburg Water Board, with assistance from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, removed three defunct dams on the West Fork River in 2016. The removals created 13.5 miles of river habitat suitable for freshwater mussel species and re-connected 491 miles of river upstream of the dams, significantly improving accessibility and safety for recreational boating.

In 2018, the community launched the Float the Fork festival to honor the removal of these three dams from the West Fork River. This annual event features a six-mile float down the river on kayaks, canoes, and paddle boards, as well as musical performances, a pre-float pancake breakfast, and food and craft vendors.

What a way to celebrate!
