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.
