-
- Allegheny Highlands Rail Trail
is a new 20-mile rail grade conversion starting from Elkins in the
south and extending north to Parsons in the Monongahela National
Forest, where it connects with the Blackwater Canyon Trail.
-
- Blackwater Canyon Trail begins
at the former mining town of Thomas off WV 32 from US 33, near the
Davis and Canaan Valley mountain biking centers. Marked as FS 115 on
the US Forest Service maps, this 12-mile rail trail descends along
the west bank of three rivers before it ends on the outskirts of
Parsons. The first 8 miles of gravel path drop more than 1,100 feet,
and make an easy downstream coast for mountain bikers. It cuts along
the side of the canyon wall, sometimes with a sharp drop-off on the
river side.
-
- The 4-mile Limerock Trail is a
spectacular but difficult trail converted from a narrow-gauge
logging railroad that descends from the rim of Blackwater Canyon.
-
- Blackwater Falls State Park,
off WV 32 from US 33 near Davis, contains 1,688 acres with 12 miles
of park roads and access to single track in the national forest.
