This was a great trail! Plenty of designated camping areas that provide water and a bathroom. You can enjoy fishing the Greenbrier River, though expect to catch lots of Creek Chubs and Smallmouth Bass. The trail is fairly flat, and easy to hike. I started at the Clover Lick parking lot and walked to the Sharps Tunnel. The tunnel was super cool, but I must not forget to mention the awesome bridge at the end of the tunnel! I'd totally recommend this trail. Plus, it would be awesome to bike this trail someday!

This is a beautiful and peaceful biking/hiking trail that follows the Greenbrier River. The trail is mostly packed gravel and suitable for all bikes except road bike with thin tires. It’s mostly flat. There are limited places to stop with toilets and campsites. It’s mostly shaded, so an autumn ride can be quite cold. I saw deer, wild turkey, lots of birds, a ground hog, and plenty of squirrels. Great to do 10 miles or 70 miles depending on your time and fitness.

Gorgeous biking trail. We rode from Marlinton to Seebert. Well maintained 3 miles paved and the rest of that section is packed gravel. Beautiful scenery and wildlife.

Wow. What a great trail for biking,hiking or running. The surface is flat and mostly smooth. It is well maintained and there is bathroom facilities and water pumps along the way. We bikes 20 miles our first time there. We can’t wait to return and try 49 miles. Thank you West Virginia for such a wonderful place to be outside enjoying the clean fresh air.

Route from Cash to Marlington forty Miles Total. DID IT WITH MY DOG. Started Sunday did 15 miles per day stayed at Adirondack shelters Sunday and Monday nite. STOPPED EVERY 3 MILES TO REST DOG. He loved it no one around so he was off leash whole time. He was a bit worn out but not bad ist time he biked not in shape yet.

Wonderful bike trail that is an old rail line along the Greenbrier river. I only wish we had more time to go further long the trail. We will definitely come back to ride it again.

We had a fun day strolling along the trail. The trail was wide and so nicely shaded by the coverage. You still get a good sweat on just biking but at least you're not in the straight sun very often. There were potty shacks along the trail. We packed lunch for a picnic once we got back to the car (because we were pulling a little one and that would have been extra weight lol). There were a few little tables at the start of the trail that we sat at to eat. We had a really enjoyable day but didn't make it too far... That was okay with us.
