Self-Guided Driving Tour: Daydreaming on Dunkard
Dunkard may be one of the most important of those streams. The headwaters of Dunkard Creek can be found in the hills and valleys of southwestern Greene County and parts of Monongalia County, West Virginia. The Pennsylvania and West Virginia forks of Dunkard meet just west of the village of Brave and form the main channel of a stream that meanders its way back and forth across the state line for nearly forty miles before meeting the Monongahela River just north of Point Marion.
