Travel Reference
In-Depth Information
The aptly named County Line Trail splits Randolph and Pocahontas counties in the
Monongahela National Forest.
Almost 3 miles in, you will make a short ascent to the top of the ridge. After an-
other mile, you will enter a clearing for yet another gas well. The service road for this
well doubles as the last leg of the trail. Follow it to reach the end of the County Line
Trail, where you can either turn back around or connect to the Beulah Trail, which
takes you north for another 3.3 miles.
DIRECTIONS
To get to the start point (it's not possible to drive to the endpoint) from
Elkins, take US Hwy. 33/WV Route 55 east toward Bowden. About 4 miles after
you travel through Bowden, turn right onto County Road 27. Once you reach the
town of Glady, turn left onto County Road 22 and then take a quick right onto
County Road 22-2, which turns into Forest Service Road 44 around the High
Falls Trail. A little more than 7 miles from Glady, you will reach Forest Service
Road 35. Follow it to Forest Service Road 35A, which ends at a gas well site. At
the far end, there is a blocked road. Take this road (on foot) 40 feet to the trail-
head of the County Line Trail. Parking is plentiful around the gas well.
