Did all 72 miles from West to East, over 3 days. Some tunnels were dry and others so wet had to walk bikes. 4 miles of pavement but most is gravel, grass, mud or dried dirt. One downed tree we had to lift bikes over. Hybrid bike recommended. Few bathrooms of other riders.
A bit of a steady uphill out of Morgantown. Beautiful sights well maintained. Be careful crossing the roads.
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.
A really lovely ride. We started at Monongah and rode south. There is a section right before Shinnston that has slipped. The trail maintainers are doing a great job marking it. The section of trail closed to the north was open and we were able to ride the entire length as of mid-March
Had a nice cool ride today. 32 degrees. Trail is pretty good. I only had to go off in one spot where the trail was washed out. Most of the trail is paved, so this is a good alternative if there has been any rain.
We went up park side and it is so steep I fell over. It is paved but dangerous for most.
We just rode this trail and it had lots of leaves. It was hard to look at the creek and waterfalls as we had to keep our head down on the many ridges. There are no immediate restrooms along the trail. We got off at Masonville and was directed to Ace Hardware where they had 2 restrooms at the back of the store. We ate at Subway in Reedsville but that was not easy getting there. There is a garden cafe nearby but it’s open Friday-Sunday.
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.
Rode from Hendricks to Elkins and back mid-June on a saturday. Somewhat disappointed and would not do this trail again. Construction zone for corridor H is a mess with tough gravel and no signage. An average rider on a hybrid might find this section very unpleasant. The paved section from Hendricks to Parsons has enough little ridges from roots that it's annoying. Otherwise, the scenery is just not that great, you ride close so highways, and sections of the trail are not maintained as other rail trails are. This one seems to be a rustic trail compared to others so maybe that's the way it is intended.
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.
