Virginia Creeper Trail (34.3 miles)

The “Creeper” is a nationally recognized rail trail in southwest Virginia. People of all riding abilities can ride parts of this trail; it’s downhill from Whitetop to Damascus and you can get a shuttle to the top of the mountain! There are 46 bridges or trestles along this 34 mile pastoral ride between Whitetop and Abingdon, Virginia.

Rode the entire Creeper there and back, stayed in Abingdon. What a very cool rails-to-trails with White Top Mountain and then all the things to do around Abingdon. Will be back in 2024.

In Florida all our trails are paved. It makes riding so much more awesome. No question this is a beautiful trail indeed. Nice work here.

We rode the Virginia Creeper the weekend after your trip!! First time for us and we had a blast! (except for the flat tire my hubbie had about 2 miles before we got to Damascus that we couldn't repair ourselves) I had checked the week before we left and information said that everything was open, but I don't know if because it was a Sunday or due to COVID, we found few bathrooms (they were all boarded up!) and few places to get water. We will definitely be back to do that trail again, maybe a week or two into October and definitely NOT on a weekend! Thanks for sharing your video with us!

Great video. I recently got my wife, two daughters and myself new trek mtn bikes to start riding more often as a family. We’re going to do a few greenways and Salem lake when the weather warms up some. Most of all though, I look forward to making the trip to the Virginia Creeper. It seems like such a good ride where you don’t have to kill yourself and can coast most of it and enjoy the scenery. Again, great video!

[@BentOnBiking]

It’s a great trail, have fun!

[@BentOnBiking]

Glad you guys liked the trail EVEN with a flat tire! 😎

Sold! I've added this to my list of rides for this summer. Thanks for the informative video, well done. BTW, did you ride the whole distance in one day?

[@BentOnBiking]

We rode half out and back on two days during the filming; Abington to Damascus and Back, Damascus to end and back.
