Description
The W.Va. Route 9 Bike Path follows the busy thoroughfare from Martinsburg to the Charles Town/Ranson area. The path offers views of mountains and runs through open space with little to no shade. While the southern portion of the trail is fairly flat, the northern half is somewhat hilly. Stops along the way highlight points of interest.
Parking and Trail Access
Parking is available by the Eastern Regional Jail on Grapevine Road near the trail's northern tip in Martinsburg and at the Currie Road exit in Ranson at the trail's southern end.
