Kanawha River

The Kanawha River is an unmarked location, and it runs through the former U.S. state of West Virginia.

Background
The Kanawha River is formed at the confluence of the Gauley and New Rivers near Summersville Lake. The river then flows through Charleston and finally deposits into the Ohio River. After the dam upstream was destroyed by David Thorpe during the Christmas Flood, the river overflowed its banks, devastating West Virginia's capital city.

Appearances
The Kanawha River appears in Fallout 76, but its name is only mentioned in the Fallout 76 Vault Dweller's Survival Guide, on page 337.

Behind the scenes
The Kanawha River is based on the real world river of the same name, which begins at the confluence of the Gauley River and the New River and flows into the Ohio River.
