This 1. 5-mile gravel trail provides access to Coonskin Park along the Elk River in Charleston, with parking available at the Riverside Pavilion.

The trail runs alongside the river with dense tree cover and connects Coonskin Park to Barlow Drive, offering opportunities for walking and fishing, though most of the trail is set back from the river.

Note that a steep grade exists where the trail leaves the former rail corridor, and the northern half-mile section is paved.
