Outdoor Recreation
Here are a few of my favorite outdoor spots to explore that only locals know about!
The Greenbrier River Trail is a 78-mile former railroad now used for hiking, biking and horseback riding. It is the longest trail of its kind in West Virginia. The trail provides many breathtaking views as it passes through several small towns, crosses 35 bridges, goes through two tunnels and cuts through some of West Virginia’s most remote areas. The Greenbrier River Trail is one of 50 Millennium Legacy Trails in the United States, and was rated one of the top 10 hiking trails in the country by Backpacker Magazine. Part of the Greenbrier River Trail lies within a National Radio Quiet Zone so cell phones do not work.

Anvil Rock is a popular spot for the locals and a choice swimming hole by an enormous 80 foot by 20 foot high limestone rock found on the Greenbrier River shores.
Since Anvil Rock is also popular spot for the locals, it’s best not to go barefoot and to keep a watch out for broken glass.
Travel on Route 219 then head west on Route 63 at Ronceverte. Go a mile and half past the Greenbrier River Campground watch for place to pull off on the south side of the road. Park and walk to the edge and head down to the river.
