Gravel & Bikepacking Routes

From Davis, riders can choose routes that range from relaxed valley gravel rides to rugged backcountry trail adventures. An easy out-and-back heads across the open landscapes of the Canaan Valley National Wildlife Refuge toward the Camp 70 trail system, offering quiet gravel riding with big views across the valley floor.

A scenic loop around Canaan Loop Road skirts the rim of Blackwater Canyon, linking trailheads where short hikes lead to dramatic overlooks like Lindy Point and Table Rock. More advanced riders can venture deeper into the refuge on mixed gravel and singletrack routes near Big Cove, where recovering wetlands and forest habitats highlight the region’s conservation story.
