Cheat Canyon—also called Cheat River Canyon or Cheat River Gorge—is a 10-mile (16 km) long, forested Canyon of the Cheat River at the western edge of the Allegheny Mountains in northeastern West Virginia, United States. A popular whitewater venue, for many years the Canyon has been the object of controversy as environmental activists have contended with timber and development interests over its preservation status.
