Greenbrier River Trail, Rail trail in Allegheny Highlands, West Virginia, United States.
The 78-mile Greenbrier River Trail extends through forests and small towns, featuring 35 bridges and two tunnels along the longest undammed river in eastern United States.
The trail follows the former Chesapeake & Ohio Railway corridor, which transported coal, lumber, and hides until its transformation into a recreational path in the 1970s.
The trail connects multiple communities, including Marlinton and Cass, where visitors experience local traditions through seasonal festivals and outdoor activities year-round.
The limestone surface accommodates hiking, biking, horseback riding, with access to camping facilities, water sources, and rest areas throughout the entire route.
The trail passes through a National Radio Quiet Zone, where cell phone signals remain limited to protect the operations of nearby radio telescopes.
