Very nice trail. I recommend it.

Wanted to bike the WV piece of the trail to see the end. Rather than start in Washington Pa., parked at Colliers and went west. Nice parking lot with plenty of spaces. Enough cars that I felt my bike rack was safe.

Loved the trail. It is partially asphalt. The last 2 miles into Weirton are yet to be done. The people are friendly. The wildlife is abundant (deer, fox, turtles, squirrels, and birds) slight incline but not enough to matter. Distance markers are visible at .25 mile increments. Porta potty at the 1/2 mile point from Weirton trail parking. Lots of picnic areas and benches.

Beautiful trail although the parking lot was a bit concealed from the main road. If you go east, the trail will be gravel for about 0.6 miles before becoming paved as you cross into Pennsylvania. You’ll experience about 6.5 miles of gradual uphill (about a 1% grade) and it’s noticeable but nothing crazy, especially if you live in Pittsburgh and run up huge hills daily. I saw about 300 total feet of elevation gain in my 18 mile run when heading east and turning around halfway through. Parking was easy and contained a gravel lot with ample spaces.

We took the trail both east and west for a while from this parking. It was an easy, flat ride as far as we went, with hills along the side part of the time. The trail passes next to the creek and other wetlands much of the way, and occasionally opens up to a wider view. To the west of the parking are a few small trails that take you directly to the creek. Locals told me there’s a small waterfall west as well, but we did not see it. Benches along the way give you a chance to get a rest.
