About Williams River
The Williams River begins on Black Mountain, Pocahontas County, and flows west 33 miles to its confluence with the Gauley River near Cowen, Webster County. The Williams is an intermediate-sized stream with an average width of 40 feet. Excellent pools and in-stream cover exist. Stream alkalinity is moderately good and aquatic insects are diverse and abundant. Because the watershed is moderately stable, the stream is slow to become turbid.
