Hike to Red Ash Coke Ovens (Southside Trail), New River, West Virginia
Red Ash Island lies abandoned in an old-growth forest near Red Ash Mine along the Southside Trail between Thurmond and Cunard. A good starting point is the Brooklyn Boat Launch.
Then disaster struck. On March 6, 1900, an explosion in the Red Ash Mine killed 46. Five years later, a second explosion in the joined Red Ash and Rush Run mines killed 24. Now the town and the mine are abandoned and largely forgotten.
