The Hatfield-McCoy Trails System is specifically designed to accommodate all levels of riders from novices to pros. Our elite team has worked hard to create an exciting and safe adventure for everyone. It is important to note that the trail system covers hundreds of miles throughout Southern West Virginia so remember, there is often some serious distance between the trails. For your convenience we have posted the descriptions, directions, trail connectors, and maps below.

Each system has it’s own personality. And while some systems are more scenic than others or extreme for others EACH SYSTEM has plenty of scenic views as well as rugged black trail terrain for those who desire more challenge in their riding experience.

Connected trails! Did you know that we have two sections of connected systems that offer hundreds of miles of trails? Our Rockhouse, Devil Anse and Buffalo Mountain trail systems connect to offer over 300 miles of trails. In a separate area, our Pinnacle Creek, Warrior, Indian Ridge and Pocahontas trail systems connect to offer over 400 miles of trails. All of these trail systems are open to ATVs, UTVs and dirt bikes.

Looking for ORV and Jeep-friendly trails? Check out our Bearwallow, Cabwaylingo and Ivy Branch Trail Systems for your next “full-size” visit.
