Welcome to the internet's most comprehensive website on the Virginia Creeper Trail. The Virginia Creeper Trail is considered to be the best rail-trail in the east, and among the best in the United States.

This non-profit informational site has been created by local residents who live in or near Damascus, Virginia, and by others from around the country who love this 34-mile trail which winds down through the Blue Ridge mountains from Whitetop to Abingdon, Virginia.

Starting April 23, 2013: The Virginia Creeper Trail is temporarily closed for repairs in a three-mile section from Whitetop Station to Green Cove Station. Click here for photos of repairs in progress from the National Forest Service.
