This trail has a lot of potential, but the surface is very poor and this makes the riding unpleasant. There are many better choices nearby in West Virginia, western Maryland, and southwestern Pennsylvania.

"I was camping in WV and could not leave till I rode this trail again. It is not for everyone, but if you love to ride in WV this is one trail you have to try, both ways. I did pulling my trailer and I am 52. I WILL BE BACK FOR MORE !"

"I ""discovered"" this trail by accident when I came to the end of the newest section of the Allegheny Highlands Rail Trail at Hendricks in May 2004 (I had no maps with me and had no idea where I was even headed until I returned to Davis that night!).
This was an easy uphill due to the rail grade. As I ascended, I felt as though I had entered a great wilderness. I wasn't sure what would appear around the next bend. And, darn, where was my fishing gear!?!
It was delightful. Mildly technical in a few spots, it's a trail advanced novices and seasoned riders alike can enjoy. By the way, I'm a 53 year old female.
This trail needs no improvements, just maintenance. I would not want to see it developed.
If you have not traveled Rt 72 between Parsons and Dry Fork, you've missed some wonderful WV scenery.
