The Greenbrier River Trail is a 77.1-mile route in eastern West Virginia between North Caldwell and Cass, created from the former Chesapeake and Ohio Railway’s Greenbrier Division. Built in 1899 and 1900, the railroad once carried passengers, freight, and heavy regional commerce before declining; passenger service ended in 1958, freight in 1978, and the line was abandoned that year. Donated to the state in 1980, the railbed reopened as a recreational trail for hiking, bicycling, horseback riding, and ski touring. Its gentle grade, 35 trestles, two tunnels, campsites, and links to parks and forests have made it a nationally recognized long-distance trail.
