Trail Route info

The entry states the the Allegheny Trail is in West Virginia. If I'm not mistaken, it routes through Allegheny County Virginia. There's a parking area and trailhead at the Jerry's Run Trail exit on Interstate 64. Would the entry state in Virginia and West Virginia?

Also in the article it states that there's 4 miles of the Appalachian trail in West Virginia at Harper's Ferry. Doesn't the trail meander back and forth across the state line on Peter's Mountain (Monroe County, West Virginia) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Timwmorganwv (talk • contribs) 17:44, 13 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Expanding the article

Planning on expanding and making proper sections for both the history of the trail and some information on the four sections it's broken into as well as the hazards on the route (risky washouts in certain areas from what I've read so far. Any objections? ZephyrDrake44 (talk) 16:10, 3 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Will put in what I have so far. Nowhere near complete but I ran out of time to work on the school project I'm doing this for and am quite tired right now. A very interesting topic though, so planning to come back and work more on it in my my own time, and try to find some more sources. Would very much welcome any other involvement as well.
