Years ago farmers used hitching wagons to travel to town and bring back supplies they needed for many months. EJ has restored this hearty old hitching wagon and now you can enjoy a smooth ride up and down the beautiful Greenbrier River Trail. The first Saturday of each month, the wagon leaves from Sitlington around 1:00 p.m. and makes its way northbound along the crystal clear waters of the Greenbrier River on the Greenbrier River Trail. At 2:00 p.m. we’re at our destination where you’ll have a full dinner prepared special for you. Take time to enjoy the cool waters of the famous River as well as listening to the nesting birds along the Trail as you smell the pine forest nearby. This is some of the country’s most beautiful landscapes so take plenty of photos and memories back home. This popular activity requires reservations so make yours early for a good seat. Prices run $65 per person with a senior discount. Rides return to stable around 5:00 p.m.
