The Deckers Creek Trail is the gem of the West Virginia Rail Trail system. It begins at Hazel Ruby Mcquain Riverfront park in Morgantown, The first 2.5 miles of the trail are paved, with the remaining is compacted crushed stone. The trail has a slight uphill grade as it travels through the Monongahela River valley passing a along Deckers Creek with a series of rapids and waterfalls. The trail also passes an abandoned row of coke ovens, remains from a large coal-mining industry which are listed as a National Historic Landmark. When the trail approaches the endpoint near Reedsville, the grade flattens and the woods give way to wetlands that feature cattails and red-winged blackbirds. This trail can be traveled in either direction and a shuttle plan is recommended.
