The Bull Creek Pedestrian and Bike Trail, which will one day run 3 miles, lies in the coal-mining country of western Virginia. Following the route of a former Norfolk Southern coal train, the first phase of rail-trail winds 1.5 miles along a wooded creek between the communities of Harman and Maxie.
The trail access point lies near Maxie, about one mile west of US 460, along State Route 609, near the State Route 601 intersection.
This is great trail to run or walk. It is a full 5k from end to end. It has lights to run on at night and beautiful sights to see. When there has been a heavy rain you can see small waterfalls at a few different spots. The trail is always well taken care of and is never very busy. A great little spot to visit with family or to train on if you run.
