General Information

The Greenbrier River Trail is closed to motorized traffic; however, you will encounter patrol/maintenance vehicles on the trail.

For health reasons, horses are not permitted within the camp sites or near eating or sleeping areas.

Tether horses to hitching rail or hitching post (if available); otherwise use a picket line between trees (do not tie horses directly to trees or picnic tables).

Avoid cross-country riding. Greenbrier River Trail property is very narrow, so please respect private property.

Straw and hay are not permitted in campsites.

Refuse containers are not provided along trail. Plan to pack out all trash.

One gate post is in place to prevent unauthorized motor vehicle access to the trail from the parking area near Cass. Wide loads such as wagons will need to arrange for a gate key.

Bridges and tunnels may be hazardous; therefore, we recommend you lead horses across bridges and through tunnels. A small flashlight may be useful in tunnels. Bridges and trestles are 10 feet wide and have wood decking and handrails.
