Trail Overview
The trail is easy and can be made by any stock 4x4 vehicle with adequate ground clearance. What makes this trail significant and worthy of a ride is it runs along the Meadow River which brought lumber into the town of Rainelle, WV on one end of the trail, and the other end is located where General Robert E Lee picked up his horse during the civil war.
