If walking/jogging/biking is your thing, you’re in luck! You are just a few steps away from the Wheeling Heritage Trail which is part of the national Rail to Trail system. Just head down the hill on 8th St., cross Main St., keep going straight toward the Ohio River through Big Shot Bob’s parking lot and you will find stairs that lead to the Heritage Trail.
