What is the trail like? What can I expect?

  • The trail begins as a compacted limestone surface. Within Morgantown, the trail is paved.
  • There is roughly 1000 feet of elevation loss between the Masontown Trailhead and the Morgantown Adventure Outfitters location. This means most of your experience will be going downhill.
  • The trail itself can be considered beginner-friendly, but the distance between the drop-off location and our Morgantown Adventure Outfitter facility should be noted. Overall, it will be a 13-mile one-way trip between locations. Portions of the trail, while scenic, are also very remote.
  • Considering the distance and trail setting - this shuttle service is best suited for adults and older children.
  • For additional information about the Deckers Creek Rail Trail, visit the Mon River Trails Conservancy website.
