   West Fork
       Rail-Trail     |
|
|     |
      This converted Western Maryland railroad bed offers access to a remote section of the Greenbrier watershed. This quiet 26 mile stretch provides an excellent backcountry experience. The trail parallels the West Fork of the Greenbrier River almost its entire length.
      You can watch the river grow from a small trickle at the Lynn Divide, fish in cool summer shadows, swim in sunny pools, tube the crisp clear rapids and see the confluence with the East Fork to form the Greenbrier River.
     
Durbin, at the southern end provides perfect access, supplies and bike rentals. The trail surface is crushed limestone and is
also nearly flat with an approximate 1% grade.
      Backpacking and camping are popular here. Loop opportunities off Burner and Allegheny Mountains offer two day hikes and all day bike riding.
