Tea Creek Trails

The Tea Creek Area Trails system consists of 12 trails totaling 44 miles, many of which follow old logging railroad corridors. The trails are found in the Marlinton Ranger District within Monongahela National Forest.

The trails run through hardwood forest, with dramatic elevation changes throughout. Most of the trails are considered difficult for mountain biking. For more information, contact the forest at the link to the right.
