“A scenic run from the National Park lots into Harpers Ferry.”

— Chris Kroehler
GPX File — Driving Directions

Overview

Features: Fall Colors — River/Creek

Description

If you're parked at the National Park lots, you have two options to get downtown: bus or run. So if you are up for an extra two miles each way, this trail is a great option.

You'll exit the parking lots on the south side and go down a fairly steep section onto Shoreline Dr. Once there, it's just a nice, flat run along the river to get downtown.
