Founded in October 1991, the West Virginia Rails-to-Trails Council is a state-wide, non-profit charity* whose membership includes local Rail-Trail foundations, Rail-Trail enthusiasts, civic organizations, trail user groups, and businesses.

Our purpose is to promote and help create Rail-Trails in West Virginia to provide recreational opportunities and stimulate economic development through Rail-Trail tourism.

The West Virginia Rails-to-Trails Council carries out a program of:

  • Public education and information
  • Local Rail-Trail project support and state wide advocacy
  • Volunteer support to assist Rail-Trail development and maintenance.
