It's Time to Start Your Adventures
Immerse yourself into nature.
Canaan Valley and the surrounding areas offer some of the best hiking and mountain biking in the east. This area boasts hundreds of miles of trails from gentle walks to extreme single track and everything in between.
Take a hike. Hop on a bike. Go for a run. View the variety of wildlife. Whatever it is that gets you enjoying the outside, share your photos with us by using #HeartoftheHighlandsTrail
Heart of the Highlands Maps are sold at these locations:
When you buy a comprehensive waterproof two-side Heart of the Highlands Trail map, our nonprofit receives a portion of that money to build and maintain more trails in Tucker County. It’s the only map that encompasses all of Tucker County Trails, from Otter Creek to Dolly Sods Wilderness.
