About the Ecusta Trail
The Ecusta Trail was designed to be a 19.4-mile multi-use greenway transforming a former rail line into a scenic corridor between Hendersonville and Brevard, North Carolina. Designed for walking, running, biking, and wheelchair access, the trail invites people of all ages and abilities to experience the region’s natural beauty. 
Passing through communities like Laurel Park, Etowah, Horseshoe, Penrose, and Pisgah Forest, the trail meanders alongside streams, pastures, and forests, offering a serene escape into nature.
