Some rivers to try next if you are comfortable on the LY are:  The New River Gorge (under 2 feet), Upper Meadow or Middle Meadow in WV, Stonycreek in PA (Foustwell or Hollsopple to Paint creek, I think they call it "the canyon" section), Cheat Narrows and maybe even the Cheat Canyon (from 1.5 to 2 feet, paddler's gauge on the Albright bridge, a fairly forgiving level), Upper Big Sandy (taking out at the Lower Big Sandy put-in), Middle Gauley, Ocoee.  Many of these only run in the spring or after lots of rain but you should be able to catch the Middle Gauley, New, Ocoee and Cheat this fall.  Have fun.

P.S. If you go to the keelhaulers web site, they have a self assesment test and a list of rivers rated by your skill level if you want more ideas.  I have found it pretty accurate.
