Hatfield-McCoy Trails to Offer a Free Day on the Trails to WV Residents on WV Day!

West Virginia’s state slogan proudly proclaims: “Mountaineers Are Always Free.” This West Virginia Day, those words take on a new meaning for riders on the Hatfield-McCoy Trails.

WV State Residents can ride for free on West Virginia Day, June 20, 2024. West Virginia Day Trail Passes will be available to state residents who present a valid West Virginia driver’s license or West Virginia state-issued I.D. at any HMT trailhead location, HMT Welcome Center and Country Roads Visitors Center.

“This is our way of saying ‘Thank You’ for the support to the residents of WV,” said Marketing Manager, Chris Zeto. “We hope folks will get outside, explore in the mountains and visit an ATV-friendly town along the way!”

HMT officials caution all riders that Hatfield-McCoy Trails regulations apply to all riders and note that West Virginia Department of Natural Resources Police Officers will be out on the trails checking for rider permits.

The Braveheart Trail System will be temporarily closed until further notice to address a couple of safety concerns. This temporary closure will allow our Field Operations Crew time to continue working on the expansion of this trail system. As we move forward on this project, updates will be available on our website. We hope to have the Braveheart Trail System reopened in Spring of 2024! We appreciate the feedback that we have received regarding this trail system and will work diligently on the development of the Braveheart Trail System.

Thank you,

Hatfield McCoy Trails Staff

We now offer two new mapping data files to make planning your next trip to HMT easier!

• Master Trail Inventory- Shape File. This file was created to assist our local 911 dispatch units and first responders. Opening this Shapefile (.shp) requires compatible GIS mapping software.
• Google Earth Total Inventory- KMZ File. This file was created to show all HMT assets in one user-friendly location. All HMT trail systems, trailhead facilities and community connectors can be accessed on this interactive map! To open and read this file, you will need mapping software compatible with the KMZ (.kmz) file format, such as Google Earth.

To access these files, please visit link- https://trailsheaven.com/trail-maps/

To access these files, you must register for an account. Once you create an account, you will receive an email when these files are updated. Please note that these files are frequently updated due to activity on the property such as natural resource extraction and maintenance.

Beginning July 1, 2021, all Hatfield-McCoy Trails (HMT) trailhead facilities, HMT Welcome Center and Country Roads Visitor Center will transition to credit/debit card only transactions. Cash will no longer be accepted or available onsite at any of these locations. We truly appreciate your patience during this transition and apologize for any inconvenience.
