The Mon River and Deckers Creek Rail-Trails had lots of down trees from storms this past weekend. Volunteers and contractor responded quickly and were clearing all weekend. Crew out today clearing more. Thank you to all that reported and helped in this effort! If you discover a down tree across the rail-trail, send a photo and text a location to me (Ella) at 304-692-6782.

Great to have the Mon River Rail-Trails a part of this long-distance rail-trail vision!

Across the country, old railroads have been converted into multi-use trails for folks to get out and enjoy nature. An ambitious vision to connect communities in West Virginia to Pittsburgh via rail trail is taking a big step towards completion.
