Ecusta Trail

The Ecusta Trail is the visionary transformation of a former rail line into a multi-use greenway spanning 19.4 miles between Hendersonville and Brevard, North Carolina.

The first 6 miles of the trail are now open, inviting people of all ages and abilities to experience the region’s natural splendor by walking, running, biking, and using a wheelchair.
