Wendell SchlabachThe Virginia creeper Trail was an excellent biking trail for our whole family with children ages 1 to 11. We thoroughly enjoyed a bike ride about 6 PM to 7:30 from Abingdon to Alvarado Station. Broad, smooth path, fun trestle bridges, lots of wildflowers this mid April, and wildlife. Will definitely return!

Brenda Reynolds BushMy husband and I visited the Creeper Trail for the very first time. We drove to The Bike Station in Damascus, VA, with our bikes and took a bike and passenger shuttle to Abingdon, VA. Everyone we meet at The Bike Station was so helpful and we highly recommend this shuttle service. If you need a bike or trike to rent, they have many to choose from. It's about a 20 to 25 minute ride to Abingdon and it's a 17 mile return bike ride of some of the most beautiful scenery you can imagine. My husband rode an electric bike and I rode an electric trike. It was a very gradual downhill path, but you do need to pedel. Which with a pedel assist electric bike, it makes for a very enjoyable ride, even on a trike. There are no places to stop and purchase a lunch, so bring a picnic lunch to enjoy on your ride. Many beautiful areas to stop and enjoy the views. About half way to Damascus, you will come to a small snack shop and rest area in Alvarado. We noticed many bike riders were parking here to start their trip for a round trip to Abingdon and back. This 8 miles of the trail are the most beautiful in my opinion. The trail would be mostly uphill if riding towards Abingdon, but with pedel assist electric bikes, would be totally enjoyable! During the last 8 miles riding towards Damascus the trail can be a little more challenging for a trike because occasionally the center of the path is covered in grass. But I had no problems. We highly recommend this trail. Unfortunately, because of the hurricane and floods, the bike trail from White Top to Damascus is still closed. I understand that is a more steep decent into Damascus from White Top and some people prefer it because not much peddling is required. I can't say since I haven't been on it, but I understand that they are repairing it as quickly as possible so maybe next fall, if not sooner, it may reopen. Lots of restaurants to purchase a meal in Damascus at the end of your ride. We took our ride very slowly, stopping often to enjoy the views and take pictures. It was the last week in August and in the shade was very cool. Shorts were fine, but a light jacket or sweater is needed. It took us over 4 hours. Your time may vary! We were told the most popular and busy times are in July and October! Hope you get to enjoy this ride!!!

Malcolm GodwinWhat a beautiful entrance to a beautiful wide well maintained trail. I’m only bummed that we didn’t care out enough time to traverse this thing. I love old converted rail lines that are now running, walking, bike trails. It’s so fun to cruise this route thinking what it would have been like traveling this path on an old steam locomotive.

Randall IngramMy wife and I have done the trail twice. The first time was the upper end. This time, it was the other end, and although it was a little more challenging, it was very pleasant. We hit the leaves just right. We absolutely love the entire area.
