Marlinton Depot

It was restored in 2017. It now has a visitor center, parking and is an access point to the Greenbrier River Trail.

Marlinton is a charming little town that embodies the history and picturesque scenery of the Allegheny Mountain region. The town has made an concerted effort to preserve its historic buildings and monuments, so you can take a trip through time as you explore. You'll find good food, ample lodging options, and some bike shops. Marlinton is the most easily-accessed town along the Greenbrier River Trail and has the largest variety of accommodations. Options like this are scarce to both the north and south from this point, so this could be an important restocking stop.

Webster Run Bridge

Highlight • Bridge

Back in the 1920s this was a busy freight route for the C&O railroad, and a signpost by the trail tells the tale of a derailed boxcar that smashed into the river and destroyed half the bridge. Today the bridge is in good working order and carries you over a bend in the Greenbriar River.

Seebert

Highlight • River

This small town offers a couple of seasonally-open spots to grab food, some bike shuttling options, and a general store with the essentials. You can find privately-owned campgrounds, like River Trail Hollow Campground, in addition to some local lodges and cabins that are available for nightly rental. Seebert River Road intersects with the Greenbrier River Trail and offers the option to take a detour into Watoga State Park, which is West Virginia's largest state park at over 10,000 acres and houses miles of biking routes.
