Coon Creek Bridge on the Elk River Trail, about 4 miles (6.4 km) downstream from Gassaway
The Elk River Trail is a state park under construction in central West Virginia, United States. It will follow a 74-mile-long[1] portion of the former Coal and Coke Railway from Clendenin to Gilmer Station. The trail will follow the Elk River for a significant portion of its length (Clendenin to Gassaway). When completed, the trail will be one of the longest on the East Coast.[2] In addition to assistance from the Appalachian Regional Commission,[3] Americorps and local volunteers have contributed to the building and maintenance of the trail.[4][5] The trail will provide opportunities for hiking, cycling, horseback riding, snowshoes, and cross-country skiing.[6]
