We ride tandem with hybrid tires. We rode from Thomas to Parsons and thanks to a shuttle service, did one way. It’s definitely a nice downhill ride but difficult to get up speed due to the many large potholes on the way to the first set of falls. Then turns to rough single track with tall grass and then gets a bit wider as you near Hendricks. Rode on the Allegheny Highlands trail (paved) to Parsons. The sounds of waterfalls surround you. No facilities or cell service in the canyon. Needed to stop to navigate fallen a few times.
We rode north out of Lost Creek for seven miles. The trail is pretty rough gravel at its southern end and lots of single-track. Also, unfortunately it had not been mowed.
Great trail. However there is a tree down in the trail 5 miles north of Pricketts Fort entrance.
Up and back will get you close to 15 miles. The trail is well maintained and looks like they are expanding it. The old line has been cleared to the rail bridge. I am looking forward to that.
this was very hard with a lot of elevation. better to ride from morgantwon and back. i did the opposite. reedsville is very remote. this is the hardest of the three morgantown trails
We rode the trail the week of Christmas (no snow). You CAN go all the way from Elkins, thru the construction, all the way to Hendricks. You can also ride the “proposed future trail” all the way to Thomas… and it’s beautiful in there! We were on gravel bikes and had zero issues. A mountain bike would work but not a road bike. Enjoy the entire trail if you have the fitness for it- it’s beautiful!
My daughter n I parked at Ivydale and headed north on the trail, 3 miles up this BEAUTIFUL trail there's pick-nic table under the watchful eye of a gi-normous wooden carved Bigfoot! Five star attraction!
Not only does the nice looking pump with all the tools at the parking not work, it let the air out of my bike tire. It was useable when I arrived, should not have trusted it. No ride today.
This trail has much improved and is open to Lost Creek, the “single track “ area is not bad at all. Wife and I started at Va park and went to Lost Creek, turned around after a stop and the little convenient store and heading back 19.8 total miles and no issues. We both ride fat tire e-bikes and in our mid 60’s
West Union area is paved both directions for a few miles, if heading west towards Pennsboro/Ellenboro trail is both hard pack. The tunnel just outside of West Union was pretty dry (2200+) and should have a light to be safe. Trail is mostly under canopy with some rock cliffs, creek view and wildlife can be seen. Fat tire makes it a comfortable, enjoyable ride
Rode eastern 17 miles east then west (Smithurg to Wolf Summit). Generally well maintained. Only two washouts at driveways. Minimal pot holes, etc. The eastern most tunnel is severely washed out from water running back through the tunnel but passable. Our tandem bike has 2.5 inch tires and at 10 to 15 mph, our typical speed, it was like riding a vibrating machine. Did not feel out of control from too deep of stone or tires slipping side ways off big stones if I watched vigilantly and chose trail tracks carefully. But having to be so watchful of the trail detracted from the ride. Decided to skip the rest of the trail for now. They really need to find stone for the trail that is more appropriate for biking.
