Thinking about a visit to the Virginia Creeper Trail? It's one of the most accessible trails you'll find. It's equally popular with beginners and advanced riders; multiple entry points mean that you can enjoy an easy 2-hour ride, or challenge yourself with an all-day, 66-mile round trip. Although biking is popular with visitors, don't forget that hiking and horseback riding are also permitted.
The most common activity for first time visitors is biking the section from Whitetop down to Damascus. Bike rental companies in Damascus and Abingdon will shuttle you to the top of the mountain for an easy 17-mile coast/pedal down to Damascus.
The ride takes anywhere from 2 to 4 hours, depending on your pace. Stops along the way include the old railroad station at Green Cove, operated by the US Forest Service; check out the high trestle at Creek Junction, where the trail runs beside some of the best trout fishing in Virginia; or stop for a bite of lunch in the community of Taylor's Valley.
The trail is multi-use, and you'll also see hikers, joggers and horseback riders as you make your way down the mountain.
