Kayaking
Let the gentle current of Meathouse Fork Creek take you on a tour of the park
Meathouse Fork, tributary of Middle Island Creek, runs for over two miles around the Doddridge County Park. An enjoyable float trip for guests of all ages. Put in on one side of the park and enjoy the float around to the take out spot on the other end of the park. Seasonal kayaking and canoeing is available when water levels allow – generally, Fall, Winter and Spring. Low water levels may require you to carry your kayak/canoe thru shallow areas. (Call for conditions.)

Fishing
Enjoy fishing the picturesque Meathouse Fork of the Middle Island Creek.
Meathouse Fork provides for a fun fishing experience for youth and adults and there are plenty of nice spots to drop a line. Anglers have reported catching Blue Gill, Muskie, Bass and Catfish in these waters. Many pools provide habitat for muskellunge, spotted bass, smallmouth bass, rock bass, various species of sunfish, freshwater drum, channel catfish, and flathead catfish. Fish from the bank or wade in the slow-moving current.
