Hazel Ruby McQuain Park

Highlight • Rest Area

This riverside park is a great spot to take a break and enjoys views of the river. There are picnic areas, a kayak launch and restroom facilities.

Tip by

3.63 km

Runners can embrace wild beauty and history while logging miles through West Virginia University's Core Arboretum. Spanning 91 acres adjacent to the Monongahela River, the open green space has over 3 miles of peaceful forested trails wrapping around old growth trees, some estimated at over 200 years old. Lush native species, wildflowers, and diverse wildlife habitats unlock glimpses of Appalachian nature at its finest. From steep hillsides to floodplain paths, the Arboretum named for ecologist Earl Core makes for terrain as fascinating to run as what may be spotted wandering its habitats.
