Elk River Trail

The Elk River Trail is a state park under construction in central West Virginia, United States. It will follow a 74-mile-long portion of the former Coal and Coke Railway from Clendenin to Gilmer Station. The trail will follow the Elk River for a significant portion of its length (Clendenin to Gassaway). When completed, the trail will be one of the longest on the East Coast. In addition to assistance from the Appalachian Regional Commission, Americorps and local volunteers have contributed to the building and maintenance of the trail. The trail will provide opportunities for hiking, cycling, horseback riding, snowshoes, and cross-country skiing.
