• Greenbrier River Trail -4800 Watoga Park Rd., Marlinton, WV 24954
  Who needs the four walls of a fitness club when you can get physical activity in the beautiful surroundings of the Greenbrier River Trail? The 78-mile trail, the longest in West Virginia, traces the one-time path of the iconic Chesapeake & Ohio Railway. As railroads and the lumber industry both suffered declines, the line was abandoned in the late 1970s. Tracks were removed, and the land was donated to the state, which converted it into a rail trail near Marlinton homes for sale. The pet-friendly trail is open for hiking, biking, and horseback riding.
