The southern end of the trail is easily reached by Interstate 64 from Harts Run exit. Many loops through state parks and national forests can be accessed from the Greenbrier River Trail. The mountain scenery is breathtaking at any season, and Fall is particularly beautiful. Summer temperatures rarely exceed the 80's..

Bruseton Mills: Circle H Outfitters is currently a Bed and Breakfast, but having no place to camp with horses, Fred and Karen Hosey graciously offered there pasture to us. The ranch is located 4 1/2 miles off of interstate 68, Morgantown, West Virginia area, at Cooper's Rock exit 15. Upon exiting you follow the signs to Sand Springs campground, the paved road becomes a gravel road, travel about 1 1/2 miles on the gravel road which leads you to the ranch. The ranch is remote and secluded.
The trails consist of gas lines, Power lines, logging roads along with access to the Cooper's Rock State Forest. Make sure you go to "the rocks" which overlooks the valley and you can see three states, west Virginia, Maryland and Pennsylvania. If you ride long and hard you can cross into Pennsylvania. There are several overlooks that are awesome. The trails in cooper's state forest are available on a limited basis to horseback riding, but the one we used, Ken's Run Trail, had lush foliage and crossed streams on numerous occasions.
The trails on both the Circle H Ranch and the forest are as challenging as you select. The camping is primitive and Fred and Karen are just now starting to use their facility for horse riding campers. Even if you Are just looking for a place to lay over the easy access from interstate 68 And the sunset from the point is worth the stop. The Hosey's are in the Process of getting a web site, but in the meantime, give them a call 304-594-3505.
