AKA Jenkins Bridge

The "Exit Point" for people whitewater rafting that put in at Albright.

Preparing for a jump off of the Bull Run aka Jenkins Bridge into Cheat River

Note how small the people on the rocks below appear - I think it's about a 50 feet jump

Some people jump, some dive off , others climb onto the upper bridge suspension to obtain another 15+ feet. "Hey ya'll watch this" unfortunately becomes someone's last words each Summer as they leap off the bridge or swim in the river at this location.

View Downstream - Former Jumpers, Big Sandy river dumps into the Cheat River on the right, 300-400 yards downstream from the bridge.
