Motorcycle Lifestyle – Hatfield McCoy Trail System

If you are like me you don’t just ride motorcycles on the road. You have a UTV, ATV, or dirt bike to supplement the need to be on two wheels. With that in mind I wanted to share one of the best places to go and enjoy these other vehicles.

The Hatfield McCoy trail system located in West Virginia is one of the gems of the East Coast. No matter what kind of vehicle you have there is a trail for you. The best part is that it is close to the Blue Ridge Parkway and the rest of wild and wonderful WV.

From their website:

“Each person visiting the Hatfield-McCoy Trail System, including passengers, is required to purchase an individual User Permit. This Permit allows you to ride, in accordance with our rules, on hundreds of miles of private land that make up our eight trails: Bearwallow, Buffalo Mountain, Indian Ridge, Pinnacle Creek, Pocahontas, and Rockhouse. User Permits must be displayed on the users helmet at all times while on the trails.

User Permit Pricing WV Residents: $26.50 (w/ tax)
Non-Resident: $50.00 (w/ tax)
*West Virginia Residency is determined by state-issued identification for all individuals 16 years of age or older. ID must be presented at the time of purchase.

Ways to Purchase a User Permit
1) On our Web Site: You will received a Hatfield McCoy Permit in 3 to 5 business days.
2) At our Visitor Center, just off US State Route 119 and 19 miles south of Charleston, WV.
3) At one of the following staffed Trailheads. See hours of operation on chart below.

Bearwallow Trail- near Logan, WV
Buffalo Mountain Trail- between Williamson and Delbarton, WV
Rockhouse Trail- in Man, WV

4) At one of over 50 authorized retail locations in the area.”

That’s a ton of information from the trail system! With the historical significance of the trail system, the ability to run ATV, UTV, 4×4 Full Size vehicles, and motorcycles you can spend a week there and not repeat a trail or vehicle.
