A nice ride. The hub is a good place to start.
This 72-mile rail-trail is maintained by 1 Trail Superintendent with 2 seasonal workers, and 1 dedicated Volunteer. When there is a storm of the magnitude of July 2022, it is impossible to get all the trees cleared even in a week. As for the eastern end of the North Bend, there has been utility work that used the trail without proper restoration, followed by fiber optic construction that tore up $1.8 Million of work in Doddridge and Harrison Counties done a couple years ago. Drainage work is being attempted as soon as possible. Working with grants that require match funding means acquiring those funds (20% of the total costs). And once a receiving a grant, nothing can be done until a notice to proceed is received (2014 are now being given notice to proceed in my City).
Please realize that all the lovely trails we all love to ride require funds to be maintained (and volunteers to do the labor). Consider helping your trails.
Rode this trail in five segments over a course of a month with each segment starting from where I turned around at. Overall not bad but it seems like the parties responsible for maintaining the trail in Doddridge and Harrison county have failed. Wood and Ritchie Counties had a good base but the other two haven’t done much to clear the trails after storms. Large trees in several places across the trail. The two lane paths looks like car tracks and some spots is liking riding in someone’s yard. Jumped on the parallel road to bypass these. The roadbeds have larger stones put in low areas and makes riding on a disaster waiting to happen. Beware, these stones have been put in the tunnels also and creates for tricky navigation. Make sure you have a bright light when going through them.
My husband and I rode from Homestead to Cumberland, with stops in Connelsville and Rockwood. Trail in excellent condition and adequate water stops. The slight upward grade going east on day 2 worth it, after Continental Divide on day 3 was all down hill. Took shuttle back to Pittsburgh, wish the train got in before 1130pm because that would have been a more economical option.
Road the trail 5/2022. The gap by the rail storage yard had been limestone sufaced, so the entire trail 2 miiles to Dunbar is now surfaced.
In Dunbar there is a small historical museum and in the park they have rebuilt a coke oven with interupatation.
We took electric scooters and did 16miles of this trail was so beautiful seen 6 deer 5 turkeys will glad go back and explore more
Elkins to Montrose. Great condition lot's of wildlife. Don't forget to swing into the speedway
This trail is very sweet for ebikers. Awesome hill with awesome scenery. Lots of waterfalls n rock formations. Perfect trail for a hot day due to the many waterfalls and a full canopy all the way.
Nice ride along the river. We (adult and two 11 year olds) parked in Champion, in a designated area and rode south. It rained all day, but with so many trees, we did not even get wet. Relatively flat, easy ride…trail in good condition. Enjoy !
From Parkersburg to mile marker 33 they have put down new gravel. In most places it’s been compacted and is smooth to ride. There is some spots of loose deep gravel that will slow you down. In Petroleum there is a covered picnic and bike repair stand with restroom. Past #33 it is still smooth pea gravel and good to ride to #44 that’s as far as I got. I would do it again. The only warning I have is the gates are closed and can be tricky to get around, one person actually took a bad fall trying to get around one. If you don’t feel confident walk your bike around.
My daughter and I did a round trip from Pittsburg to Cumberland! Then Cumberland back to Pittsburg! Camped and did motel. Just awesome! We have made a few extra trips driving from Mansfield, Ohio to Cumberland to just do the Cumberland to Eastern Continental Divide and back spend night in Cumberland and biked a few miles down the C&O and back before driving home!
