This list of rail trails in West Virginia includes former railroad right-of-ways in West Virginia that have been converted to trails for public use and proposed rail trails.
Cranberry / Tri-Rivers Trail: a depot was renovated in the city of Richwood for use as a trailhead for the trail. This 14.5 former rail bed extends from the city along the Cherry River to the Gauley River. The trail then turns upstream and follows alongside the Gauley to a high trestle and enters a tunnel, dead-ending at Allingdale. An extension is planned or underway from Cowen to Bolair.
Elk River Rail Trail: a 1-mile (1.6km) rail trail that currently extends in Coonskin Park in Kanawha County just north of Charleston; the remainder of the disused line towards Morgantown may be converted into a rail trail; the extension of the runways at Yeager Airport has damaged the trail to make it nearly impassable at several places[citation needed]
The Mon River Rail Trail North is slated for an extension north from Van Voorhis Road to Pennsylvania, where a trail would loop back to the Cheat Lake Trail. The Mon River Rail Trail North is currently 2 miles (3.2km) long with an extension to 6 miles (9.7km) slated for construction.[5]
