X-Country Skiing - Rail Trail System (Deckers)
Description
Great resource to learn cross country skiing. Consistant flat trails that are in downtown Morgantown or very close to town. Not as much snow is needed to ski on these trails as on forest or field trails. The paved section of trail is not very fun to ski due to poles hitting the hard surface. A little way out of town, the crushed surface is ideal. The Deckers Creek Trail near Masontown is a great cross country ski resource as it snows more there and the snow stays on the trail a long time. No facilities. Map (pdf)
