Discover

River Trail Upper is a trail destination in Cabell County, West Virginia, for travelers who want to add time outdoors to a visit in the region.

On any trail visit, pace shapes what you notice. Walking gives you time to take in your surroundings, pause when something catches your attention, and enjoy the shift from travel mode to outdoor movement.

A useful way to prepare is to think through the basics before leaving: how much time you want to spend, what footwear feels comfortable for walking, and what conditions are like that day. These small decisions can make a trail outing more comfortable without requiring an elaborate plan. If you are visiting with others, agree on a relaxed pace that works for the group.

The trail’s appeal is its straightforward promise: a named outdoor route in West Virginia that gives the day a walking-focused option.
