Meadow River Rail Trail

Unveiled in late 2023, the Meadow River Rail Trail abounds with rugged beauty. The trail is currently a point-to-point, with the first ten miles of this 23-mile corridor open. It's open to hikers, bikers and horseback riders. It features two photo-worthy bridge crossings, a hard-packed gravel surface, gentle grade, and ample width for leisurely side-by-side adventuring.

Trailhead. Currently, your best bet is to park at the Nallen Post Office Trailhead. It's located at the northernmost point of the trail. Parking is just off Rt 41, and there's enough space for at least eight cars, maybe more.

August 2024 Update. The trail is fully developed from the Nallen Post Office to a half mile past the second bridge (at mile ten-ish). Construction to Rainelle (the remaining 13 miles) will start in October 2024 with a target completion of the following fall.
