The Greenbrier River Trail is a 77-mile former railroad that has been converted into a multi-use trail. The rail trail is available for use for hiking, biking, horseback riding, and cross-country skiing. Much of the trail is wheelchair accessible. The trail is paved with packed, crushed rock and has a gentle grade that is easy to cycle or walk.

The trail follows the Greenbrier River, which has many swimming and fishing holes. The trail passes through some very remote wilderness, including the Monongahela National Forest, Watoga State Park, and the Seneca State Forest. Hunting is common in the nearby forests and it is recommended for trail users to wear orange during hunting seasons.
