The first leg of the Frog Hollow Trail is now open, so hop on over and give it a try! 

The Frog Hollow Rail Spur was constructed in the 1880s from the Martinsburg Train Station/Roundhouse Complex to the Standard Lime and Stone Company south of Martinsburg. Standard and Lime granted an easement on the Frog Hollow Rail Spur soon after its construction to the B & O Railroad – the predecessor to CSX – to operate the rail line. The Frog Hollow Rail Spur remained operational for approximately 140 years serving industry in and around the City of Martinsburg until the rails were removed in 2021. Argos USA, LLC and CSX Transportation, LLC, generously donated the Frog Hollow Spur the City of Martinsburg for the purpose and ultimate goal of a constructing a new multi-modal recreational trail to connect downtown Martinsburg to the existing Route 9 trail. 

Future Plans:

Frog Hollow Trail is just the beginning of a multi-phased project to connect all the City's parks, neighborhoods and historic sites.  Future phases include the Creekside Trail:

The Creekside Trail will connect the Martinsburg Train Station and terminus of the Frog Hollow Trail to Oatesdale Park.  

The Lake Thomas connector will connect the Creekside Trail from Oatesdale to Lake Thomas (future recreational area) and War Memorial Park.
