A clean trail helps WV wildlife thrive!
The Greenbrier River is one of the most charming rivers in West Virginia. At more than 150 miles long, it has great rural scenery, rich history, and excellent fishing. The Greenbrier was a Native American trail and had a big role in the development of the region’s early timber industry.
Bring your bike and gear and prepare for a beautiful ride on the Greenbrier River Trail. Our trail is suitable for all bike riders with frequent rest stops along the 78-mile trail.
No matter the time of year, the Greenbrier River Trail offers breathtaking views of West Virginia and its unique wildlife. Be sure to bring a camera to capture and share this awesome experience with your friends and family.
The Greenbrier River Trail (GRT) has two “Friends” groups dedicated and actively engaged in promoting, preserving and improving the Trail. First, the Greenbrier River Trail Association (GRTA) that has been in existence for more than 40 years and was largely responsible for establishing the Trail. In June 2020, the Greenbrier River Trail Foundation (GRTF) was formed by members of GRTA. By creating a state park foundation, GRTF has access to WV State Park matching grant funds used to expand Trail improvement projects.
GRTF and GRTA share the same governance, Board structure, officers, bylaws and operations. Both groups are dedicated to fostering trail health and vitality and work closely with the WV Division of Natural Resources (DNR) which oversees regular maintenance, grant and volunteer opportunities, and annual trail events. Finally, both groups are 501(c)(3) organizations and continue to support the needs of the GRT.
Get in touch with us at [email protected]What a great rail trail with plenty of amenities. Several blowdowns after severe storms, but the park service was quick to clear the trail. I traveled with a group of Boy Scouts that cleared several trees from the trail and cleared a path through a large section of blowdown. Highly recommend.

Joyce K. · WVGreat trail and would rate as easy. Would like to go back and bike the trail. We did about 6 miles and then turned back. Great scenery and wildlife. We saw 3 deer; one of the does had a fawn. Would highly recommend the trail.
