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 for adults and older children.
- For additional information about the Deckers Creek Rail Trail, visit the Mon River Trails Conservancy website.
