Thanks to the hard work of local volunteers, walkers, bicyclers and horseback riders are now able to travel the entire section of railroad bed from Pisgah to Dundon. Thanks to Appalachian Timber Products of Sutton and their generous donation of materials and David Pierson for the use of equipment, the floor of the railroad trestle at Dundon has been completely replaced. The sturdy oak flooring expands to cover 180′ of steel to allow travelers to safely cross over the mouth of Buffalo Creek. The project was initiated during the Governor’s Day of Caring but took weeks to complete. Mitch DeBoard, Michael Shamblin, Moon Mullins, Brent DeBoard and Michael Adkins worked countless hours to ensure the trestle flooring was safe for crossing. The group effort was made possible by the Business Development Authority, the Buffalo Creek Watershed, United Way, Clay 4-H and WVU Extension Office and Clay County Services Unlimited. Make time to enjoy the county’s first trail and enjoy the beauty of the outdoors this fall.
