Greenbrier River Trail
A 128 km riverside trail converted from an old railway line, with a gentle gradient and passing through tunnels and small towns; ideal for cycling and strolling.
The Greenbrier River Trail was converted from the old Chesapeake and Ohio Railway line. It is about 126 km long and mostly follows the Greenbrier River. The gradient is very gentle, and the crushed-stone surface suits both mixed-surface bikes and hikers. The trail passes two tunnels, 35 bridges and several small villages. The most convenient access point is Marlinton, which has bike rental and a visitor centre in the historic railway station. From Marlinton south to Sharps Tunnel and back is about 30 km. The trail is free to use, and there are campsites along the way. In summer, you can swim, wade and fish in the river.
