YOUR CREEPER TRAIL ADVENTURE STARTS HERE

The Virginia Creeper Trail is an iconic 34-mile downhill multi-use path built along a former railroad route, gradually descending through pristine wilderness from Whitetop Station to Abingdon. Named for the creeping locomotion of early 20th century trains, the crushed stone trail surface enables a smooth journey for hikers, cyclists and riders to immerse in the region’s lush forests, meadows, creek valleys and charming small towns – all while passing trestles from its railroading past amidst the breathtaking natural scenery.
