Rail Explorers – the nation’s leading railbike operator – opens its newest location in Clay, West Virginia this month. The two-hour tour departs from where Elk River and Buffalo Creek meet and offers a unique 12-mile round trip journey along the historic Buffalo Creek & Gauley Railroad, following the twists and turns of the crystal-clear water through the breathtaking forest, past the stunning Devil’s Sawmill Waterfall and over Sandfork Bridge. Public tours begin June 8, 2024. There will be a ribbon cutting ceremony on June 7 at 10:30 a.m., and a preview tour the same day at 11:30 a.m. Address: 874 Buffalo Creek Road, Clay, WV 25043
Rail Explorers founded the railbike industry in America. Its custom-built railbikes are pedal-powered, have hydraulic disc brakes, and feature a custom-built electric motor – the REX Propulsion System. The technology leads the world in safety, design, and ease-of-operation. The combination creates a truly effortless ride for guests of all ages and abilities – including those who are visually or hearing impaired, or differently abled. Rail Explorers’ commitment to inclusion prompted the custom electric-pedal assistance system to overcome the difficulty of pedaling uphill, as well as an all-steel-frame construction that is strong enough to have no rider weight restrictions. Tours are open Thursdays through Sundays at 874 Buffalo Creek Road, Clay, WV 25043. Riders can choose a Quad Railbike (up to four riders) for $160 or Tandem Railbike (up to two riders) for $80.
Limited seats are available and reservations are recommended. Visit RailExplorers.net or call 877-833-8588 to learn more and reserve tickets.
