Old Carnifex Road Trail
Carnifex Ferry Battlefield
Length: 1.5 miles
The 1.5 mile Old Carnifex Road Trail begins near Shelter # 3 and ends at
the Gauley River. This was the road
used for Confederate General Floyd’s retreat, and it ends at the site of
the original Carnifex Ferry.
Although moderate to strenuous in difficulty, Old Carnifex Road
Trail offers the best access to the river.
Carnifex Ferry Battlefield is located near
Summersville, West Virginia.
