Hiking & Biking the Greenbrier River Trail
At 80 miles long, the Greenbrier River Trail is the longest West Virginia Mountain Biking rail trail. Passing through incredibly beautiful mountains, the Greenbrier Trial follows the course of the river from Caldwell in Greenbrier County to Cass and the Cass Scenic Railroad WV in Pocahontas County. While today's trail passes through mountains and agricultural valleys, yesterday's C&O Cass Railroad WV passed through lumber towns with sawmills at Denmar, Watoga and Spice Run. It passed through bustling towns like Ronceverte and Marlinton as well as farming communities like Spring Creek and Beard. Restored train depots at Clover Lick and Marlinton once hummed with freight and passengers. Today, the Cass Scenic Railroad WV is a favorite among bicyclists and tourists.

The Greenbrier River Trail has become one of the most popular activities for our guests and with good reason. The Greenbrier River valley is full of splendor in every season. We have included some tips, suggested rides/hikes and stops along the way to help you plan your activity on the trail. To make your visit more enjoyable remember:

• Fat tire bicycles are easier to ride.
• Bridges and tunnels may be hazardous.
• Pack it in - Pack it out.
• Be considerate of adjacent private land owners, stay on the trail.
• Leave no trace.
• Control your bicycle.
• Always yield trail.
• Plan ahead.
• Leave all wildflowers for others to enjoy.
