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.
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
As nice as the Greenbrier over in nearby WV. Great surface the whole way from Intervale to the northern end.
This was a great short ride for us and our 4 year old. Mostly flat or low grade hill from the east trailhead! Be sure to bring a headlamp or flashlight if walking.
The trail is in great condition. The combination of shade and open sky made it a pleasant ride in low 80s temps.
Only a few minor repairs need to be made- steps for riders on both sides of the bridges are needed to dismount their horses- a few bridges were missing them. Also, there is a board sticking out into the path on the long bridge at mile marker 4.5. It looks like they tried to repair it, the board needs to be replaced.
Beautiful trail that follows an amazing, clear stream that begs to be fished. It is the water supply for Lewisburg.
Did the ride on 23 Jul. As part of trip planning I called Allegheny Outdoors to determine trail status. They are located at the eastern end parking lot. Being told the trail was open all the way I loaded up and left for the trail head. Rode the trail east to west and back. Beautiful views of the river with tree covered mountains on the other side no real vistas this is close up nature at it’s best. Great facilities on each end with additional parking along the way. Surface was ok. I thought the ground stone was a little deep in places. Probably because it’s a newer trail and recent rains required patching in places. I think I’ll return in late fall/early winter when view of the river will be better and temps more palatable for this ole man. Highly recommended ride.
I love that you are along a river a lot of the time and cross a river multiple times. The trail is mostly shaded. Tons of interesting birds sing in the spring. The bathroom at Rose’s Mill is a plus. They tell you not to drink the water but after I did by mistake I suffered no ill effects. I encounter people on any day of the week, but definitely on the weekends. I highly recommend this trail.
It's quiet, has plenty of shade, peppered with picnic tables, and markings for 5K, 10K, half and full Marathon runs starting from the Intervale trailhead (bathrooms). Trail was closed due to recent washout about 8 or 9 mi up from Intervale.
Quiet, flat, maintained, mostly shaded, along the Piney river with benches and the occasional picnic table. Port-a-potty at the Piney River trailhead, running water bathroom at the Roses Mill trailhead .
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.
