North Bend Rails to Trails Foundation
Welcome to the official site of the North Bend Rails to Trails Foundation. We are a non-profit organization, represented by citizens of the four counties (Wood, Ritchie, Doddridge and Harrison) which make up the North Bend Rail Trail. Our primary objective is to support, promote and provide for the improvement of the Trail.

A recent improvment to the trail was achieved with a Transportation Enhancement Grant (T-21) to the Doddridge County Commission for $40,000 with the Commission providing a $10,000 match. The grant improved the Trail with the partial paving and lighting of the Trail through the city of West Union.

There are now picnic tables along the trail thanks to Ken Adams, Board member at-large. Ken is one of the Trail's biggest supporters in volunteer time and donations. We give a big Thank You to Ken.

In other news, the Foundation is applying for grants to construct another rest area on the Trail. There currently are three rest areas. These rest areas comprise a toilet, picnic area and shelter. The present stops are located between Cairo and Ellenboro, east of West Union and just past Salem. The new rest area would be near Walker in Wood County.

These are two examples of the picnic area on the trail.

This rest stop is located just before West Union.

When in Cairo be sure to stop by the headquarters of the North Bend Rails to Trails Foundation. Located in the historic Bank of Cairo building.
Drop in at the Cairo Supply Co. and Country Trails Bikes LLC and talk with DJ & Ron Allen, your ADT coordinators in West Virginia.
