Hike/Bike The Virginia Creeper Trail
Posted On Wednesday, May 16, 2012
The Virginia Creeper Trail
is 35 miles of pure delight for hikers and outdoor enthusiasts. The
trail stretches from Abingon VA through Damascus VA, all the way to the
North Carolina state line near Whitetop VA. Biking, horseback riding,
and hiking are all permitted on the Creeper Trail. They even offer bike
rentals, shuttles and food along the way as well as bed and breakfasts
that boast the natural scenery. This trail is very rich in natural
beauty as well as local history. The trail was once a railway bought by
the Virginia-Carolina Railroad Company and operated for nearly 100 years
until it was left destroyed by torrential rain. The tracks were ripped
up in 1977, leaving it a premier biker and hiker haven.
With its pristine beauty, natural rivers and waterfalls, there is no question why the Creeper Trail is a favorite among locals. You can enjoy a day of fly fishing or enjoy a leisurely stroll and learn about the unique history of Southwest Virginia. You may also try kayaking down the river that runs along much of the Virginia Creeper Trail. This trail is fun for the whole family with easier levels of difficulty.
