Guest River Gorge Trail

George Washington and Jefferson National Forests

Length: 5.8 miles

This is a picturesque 5.8 mile rail-trail which follows the old Norfolk-Southern Railroad route once used to haul coal. The trail passes through Swede Tunnel, built in 1922, and over a number of trestles. This segment of the Guest River is designated a State Scenic River. Hikers, bicyclists, anglers, canoeists, and kayakers are invited to enjoy the scenery and the interesting geology of the gorge. The trailhead features paved parking and restrooms.
