Everything you need to know about riding the Hatfield & McCoy trail system — from a basecamp 3 minutes from the trailhead.
One of the largest ATV and off-road trail systems in the eastern United States — 700+ miles of marked trails weaving through West Virginia, Kentucky, and Virginia. Named for the legendary feud families of the region.
Trail permits are required and easy to get — QR code kiosks are located 5 minutes from our retreat. Day passes and annual permits available. You can also purchase online at hatfieldmccoytrails.com before you arrive.
You can ride directly from our highway-accessible property — no trailering, no loading up at a staging area. These are the systems you'll hit first.
The closest trails to the retreat and the most historically significant — named for Devil Anse Hatfield himself. Trail 51 is a great first ride with a mix of open sections and wooded single-track.
The scenery payoff trail. Rockhouse climbs to ridge-top views that are worth every technical section. Trail 42 in particular has overlooks that'll make you stop just to take it in.
Wide open, fast, and forgiving — Buffalo Trail 14 is the best trail for newer riders or kids. Long straight sections and gradual terrain make it a great confidence-builder.
Off the marked system, off the GPS, and worth every mile. The outlaw trails are what separates a local guide from a navigation app — hidden routes that most visitors never find.
One of the unique things about this trail system — you can actually ride into town for food, fuel, or a cold drink without ever loading up. These towns are all reachable directly from our property.
The trails are well-maintained but remote in sections. Pack smart and you'll have nothing to worry about.
Pro tip from the locals: The Dollar General in Delbarton (5 min) stocks basic supplies, snacks, and drinks. Gas up there before hitting the longer trails and you won't have to cut a ride short.
The trails are open year-round (weather permitting), but some seasons are better than others.
3 minutes from Devil Anse Trail 51. Sleeps 10. Fully stocked. No trailering needed.
