About the Trail
Stretching 78 miles through the stunning landscapes of West Virginia, the Greenbrier River Trail offers an unforgettable outdoor experience for hikers, bikers, and nature lovers alike. This rail-trail features 37 picturesque bridges and two spectacular tunnels: the 402-foot-long Droop Mountain Tunnel, built in 1900, and the 511-foot-long Sharps Tunnel, constructed in 1899.
The trail gently descends from Cass Scenic Railroad State Park in Pocahontas County (elevation 2,688 feet) to Caldwell in Greenbrier County (elevation 1,696 feet), making it accessible for adventurers of all skill levels. With its tranquil riverside views, rich history, and abundant wildlife, the Greenbrier River Trail is your gateway to the beauty of West Virginia’s outdoors.
