Birch River rises in Webster County in central West Virginia just northwest of Cowen. At an elevation of 2300 feet above sea level, it begins its northwestward trek across Webster and Nicholas counties towards its confluence with the Elk River at Glendon, in Braxton County. The elevation at Glendon is 775 feet above sea level, therefore the Birch has fallen 1525 feet from its start in Webster County.

The ranking score is used to determine how "popular" a trip or location is. It is calculated based off of a weighted average of the number of reviews and the user ratings. For example, a location with 2 reviews and an average rating of 5 will have a lower "ranking score" than one with 10 reviews and an average rating of 4. This is because even though the first location has a better average rating, it has not been reviewed as much as the second location, so it is not as "popular". In the future we may modify the ranking score to take in additional factors, such as the number of views, comments, and photos.
