My wife and I rode from Marlinton to Cass and back on May 7. Trail surface was in good shape. Only saw one other biker all day long. We stayed at the Marlinton Motor Inn on Rt 55 the night before our ride, and got sandwiches for lunch on the trail at the Subway inside the Marathon gas station at the intersection of Rt 219 and Rt 39, where you cross the bridge to go into town. We rode about 48 miles round trip, which is a long ride for us, so we ate dinner in town at the Greenbrier Grill & Lodge, and decide to stay overnight in one of the rooms above the restaurant (the Lodge). Basic accomodations, but we were tired and wanted a meal, a hot shower, and a soft bed! We plan to come back to ride the rest of the trail.
The length, setting and scenery are hard to beat, could be the best trail in the state. However, trail surface badly needs work. We love nature and quiet on this trail, but found the ruts, large stones, branches and horse hoof damage on this trail hard to ignore. There were signs of attempts at repairs, but they weren’t done to pre-damage condition. By day’s end, our wrists, backs and backsides were complaining loudly. Very disappointing after a long drive to get there. Glad we did it, but won’t go out of our way to ride it again, unless we see reports of major improvements.
We came to do a day ride starting at the south end. We were only able to go about 10 miles and then hit a bridge under construction so had to turn around. Sign said construction underway through 2026/2027.; so check route before you go. We did go to greenbrier Valley Brewery and ate at a farm to table in Lewisburg called Stardust. Good beer and amazing food mad. Worth the trip
We started at the south end on 10/13 and ride to the Anthony Rd. Boat launch and returned to the south end. Great trail conditions, not too busy traffic-wise. Looking forward to our next trip to the region to pick up where we left off.
Did this trail on the first cool late August Sunday afternoon and enjoyed it immensely. Small town flavor with woods, some houses, fields, and some businesses. It wasn’t well marked and we only saw one real sign that designated it as this trail. We parked at the church after asking an employee there if it was OK. He said no problem. As another reviewer said it’s great for a Sunday afternoon pedal.
Just spoke with the Ranger today, August 24, 2025 at the Canyon Rim visitor center and he said the trail was closed. It has been closed for a while because of the bridges are not safe anymore. So cross this one off your list.
Loved this ride! Started at Nalen and rode up to the big tressel for a 16 mile out and back total. Such great scenery of the Meadow River which is full of smallies! A few places to go down to the water. That river is beautiful and ranges from flat shallow spots to giant boulders cascading water! I wish there was more openings to view the riverbed! The forest was deep, dark, cool, and shady. Saw deer and turkeys for wildlife. It is one of the top trails we have done this summer! Well done WV!
The trail head is at a large gravel parking lot to the right of the post office with a bulletin board depicting the trail route. The trail is double track, suitable for most bikes but not for three wheelers as the tracks are narrow with a berm in the middle. Crushed and packed stone with occasional sketchy spots. Would love to see the trail graded flat with more rolled stone to create a wider lane to accommodate handicap users.
Beautiful trail that follows an amazing, clear stream that begs to be fished. It is the water supply for Lewisburg.
We spent three days riding this trail. It was an absolutely beautiful ride with lots of bridges and two tunnels. It's mostly flat with plenty of shade on a hot summer day. Lots of photo opportunities.
We rode parts of this trail the week of June 22, 2025. The trail is remote (not much cell service) which we like. My wife suffered a blowout not far from the bigfoot. That shortened our ride that day. The trail surface is decent for the most part but there are sections where there are pretty large rocks/stones that you have to watch out for. My wife's blowout was due to one of these. No big hills which is nice. The 2nd day we rode from Gassaway to Strange Creek. Saw no other humans either day however it was pretty hot both days we rode. The big takeaway for us was the trailheads need a lot of work. For the most part, they were just parking lots. No water, no covered shelter or picnic table and no restroom at the trailhead. (restrooms were scattered over the trail, however). Shoutout to Trailhead Farm Meats & More and Bigfoot Braxxies in Gassaway for helping us with the flat tire and yummy pepperoni rolls.
