Featured National Recreation Trails - Hosted by AmericanTrails.org 
Canaan Valley Institute Trail System – Located near the town of Davis, this 6.5-mile privately-owned multi-use trail system offers the public a variety of hiking, mountain biking, and equestrian trails, with additional connections planned to link to neighboring State and Federal lands. The Hatfield-McCoy Trails — Spanning nearly 500 miles across eight counties, this backcountry trail system provides for a variety of trail uses, including all-terrain vehicle use, mountain biking, hiking, and horseback riding. In addition to linking cultural resources, this trail system attracts tourism dollars and has provided an economic boost for communities throughout the region. Given the recreational and economic benefits generated, and the numerous partners and landowners involved, this trail system should be commended for what has been achieved through a diverse partnership (designated 2004). Mon River/Caperton/Deckers Creek Trails: This 46-mile rail-trail system links urban and rural communities in three counties and acts as a low-impact recreation corridor, alternative transportation route, community green space, outdoor classroom, and natural and cultural heritage park (designated 2006). Weston & Gauley Bridge Turnpike — Listed on the National Register of Historic Places for its significance as an early transportation route and its association with Civil War activities in West Virginia. This turnpike has been maintained as close as possible to its original construction in the 1850's. The 10-mile trail provides year-round recreation for walking, biking, hiking, horseback riding, and natural and human history interpretation. The turnpike serves thousands of visitors to Burnsville Lake in central West Virginia each year. We frequently add NRT information, photos and maps to these pages.
