Allegheny Highlands Trail is a 24.5-mile trail that leads throughout many small towns and amazing scenery. The trail follows the old West Virginia Central and Pittsburg railway that was built in 1884. Today, guests to the area can hike or bike the trail. Many areas of the trail are paved for easy commuting, but some trails are more rugged and with steep inclines. For those interested in taking the whole trail, camping is allowed on the trail, though visitors are asked to keep their footprint to a minimum when hiking, biking, or camping. Visitors can also download geocaching sites on the Highlands Trail Foundation website.
