WV Scenic Trails Association (Allegheny Trail)

About

The West Virginia Scenic Trails Association is a volunteer organization focused on creating and maintaining long-distance hiking opportunities, most notably the Allegheny Trail. Members blaze and maintain trail segments, coordinate work trips, and provide information to backpackers interested in multiday experiences in West Virginia’s backcountry. Its mission is to give hikers access to extended routes that showcase the state’s diverse landscapes.

Long-distance trails like the Allegheny Trail contribute to the state’s appeal as a destination for serious hikers and adventure travelers. By keeping these routes open and navigable, the association supports the type of immersive outdoor experiences that Access Appalachia aims to bring to a wider audience.
