| | Welcome to UpperRiver.com -- West Virginia's Elk River |
 | | The new book is titled Upper River: Elk’s Origins and Beyond, and follows the river from its beginning at Slatyfork, West Virginia, all the way to its meeting with the Kanawha River at Charleston, the state capital, a distance of one hundred and seventy-two miles. |
 | | Upper River contains twenty-six chapters, is slightly over three hundred pages in length, and features fifteen inside color pictures of scenes along the river, including a stunning panorama of Whittaker Falls, the well-known spot at the Randolph-Webster County line located slightly over twelve miles below the start of the river. |
 | | Another appendage is called Elk by The Numbers, which gives elevations, rates of descent, mileages, drainage area, major tributaries, and populations of principal towns along the river’s path. |
