BANKS-VERNONIA STATE TRAIL

Note: The trail north of Stub Stewart State Park to Vernonia is closed until further notice. The southern portion of the trail to Banks remains open.

Stop. Look. Listen. Not for the train ... it doesn't whistle along this old, abandoned, 21-mile railroad anymore. Listen to the rustling wind, birds and trickling streams. Stop at Manning. Stop at Vernonia. Stop at Tophill or Buxton. Stop at any of these trailheads and get on this trail to walk, bicycle, clop along on your horse or push the stroller. Look at the old trestles and gorgeous wildflowers, animals and trees. Hop on board. 21 miles of adventure await. There's a ticket with your name on it.

The trail is open to all non-motorized users ... horse, bicycle, and walkers/hikers.

This park is actively seeking adopters who can help with trail improvement, map-making and other tasks. Read more about the search for volunteers.
