The North Bend Rails-to-Trails Foundation, Inc. was established in 1989 to help raise funds for the ongoing development, maintenance and marketing of the North Bend Rail Trail, which is operated by the West Virginia State Parks system. Stretching 72 miles across north-central West Virginia, the North Bend Rail Trail is a scenic pathway that takes travelers across 38 bridges and through 10 tunnels. It is part of the 5,500-mile American Discovery Trail, which spans the length of the United States. 

The North Bend Rails-to-Trails Foundation, Inc. has partnered with the Rails-to-Trails Conservancy to make the NBRT part of the Industrial Heartlands Trail – an effort to create a nearly continuous 1,400-mile loop through Pennsylvania, New York, Ohio and West Virginia. The NBRT will be the “southern anchor” of the IHT trail.
