Riverbend Trail - New River State Park, Wagoner Access

Description: Join ASTA on this wonderful trail at the Wagoneer access (from Route 88) at New River State Park! The trail winds through the woods and passes through a beautiful white pine forest and interesting tobacco barn, then continues on to the New River. We will stop here for snacks and return the same way.

Difficulty: This 7.3 mile trail is considered moderate, elevation gain of 895 feet. (The trail head is 1/2 mile from parking lot, past the campground, hence the 1 mile difference with AllTrails.)
