Droop Mountain Tunnel Hike
Monday, November 10, 2025 (9:00 AM - 12:00 PM)
(EST)
Description
A highlight of the Greenbrier River Trail is the 402-foot long Droop Mountain Tunnel located at Mile Marker 30.9. Trail access is about one mile before the tunnel. Hike at your own pace, but plan on walking for 2-3 hours total. Hiking/walking will be easy, as this is a nationally-known rail trail with no more than a 4% grade over its entire length. The tunnel is DARK, so bring a flashlight. Also bring snacks and water. Meet at the Hollowell Park lot on GMS Drive in Lewisburg at 9:00 a.m. to carpool/caravan. Here is the FB page:

Youth must be accompanied by a guardian and the adult must stay with them during the activity. Active SWV has developed a new online program which provides FREE membership and easy, easy access to all FREE programs. Find it at www.activeswv.com. You can also fill out a waiver in person at the hike.
We may stop somewhere in Lewisburg for a late lunch after the hike, but that is optional!
***Again, our hikes are for anyone from any county. If you haven’t explored this part of southern West Virginia yet, it’s a great place to visit. You can be home by dark from this adventure.
