In-Depth Information
The West Fork River is a popular fishing spot, and you are bound to see a number
of anglers along the way. The trail comes to an end in the town of Durbin, a quiet
Appalachian town that has wonderful little lunch spots and a nice Main Street cor-
ridor. There is a bonus half-mile rail-trail, the Widney Park Rail-Trail, which can be
accessed right in downtown Durbin.
This trail curves along the West Fork River, negotiating the snug turns through the hills
and valley.
DIRECTIONS
To reach the northern trailhead from Elkins, take US Hwy. 33 east and make
a right onto County Road 27 (Glady Road). Follow it for approximately 10 miles
to the town of Glady. When you come to the intersection of Glady and Elliots
roads, continue straight on Glady through the stop sign and follow the road for
approximately a quarter mile to where it dead-ends. The trailhead will be direc-
tly in front of you.
To reach the southern trailhead from Elkins, take US Hwy. 219 south to Hut-
tonsville. Merge onto US Hwy. 250 going south and follow it all the way to
Durbin. Look for the trailhead on the left about a mile before you reach the town.
