Bike And Hike Trail Closed
WEST VIRGINIA....
Harrison County officials have indefinitely closed the Northern Harrison County Bike and Hike Trail after lead and and other contaminants were discovered. Contamination levels haven't been determined, but a Maryland engineering firm that designed the trail will conduct further tests for the county. The entrance of the trail, which runs 7 miles between North View and Spelter, is located on a former glass plant site, and the state Department of Environmental Protection says contaminants found on the trail include lead and arsenic.
