From this southern gateway to the Mon Forest, riders can choose from relaxed rail-trail cruising, scenic gravel loops, or a demanding mountain challenge. The routes below begin with the peaceful southern stretch of the Greenbrier River Trail, including a family-friendly ride between Caldwell and Anthony with riverside views and easy access to bikepacking shelters.

For those seeking more climbing, the Kate’s Mountain Challenge loop rises into the ridges above town and through Greenbrier State Forest before descending across the pastoral Greenbrier Valley. Another option links the river corridor with quiet backroads, climbing forest road 296 and rolling through farmland near Renick before returning to the trail.
