Hatfield-McCoy Trails
The largest off-highway trail system in the eastern United States — more than a thousand miles across former coal lands in southern West Virginia, split into named systems including Rockhouse, Bearwallow, Buffalo Mountain, Pinnacle Creek, Devil Anse, Pocahontas, Indian Ridge, Ivy Branch and Warrior. Several connected trail towns permit street-legal riding directly to lodging, fuel and restaurants.
Know before you go
- Buy a permit online before you arrive; every rider needs one
- Difficulty is color-coded — green systems suit side-by-sides and beginners
- Gilbert, Man, Matewan and Bramwell are the classic trail towns
