Devil Anse Trail 51 & Trail 38

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.

  • Named for the Hatfield patriarch — rich local history
  • Trail 38 connects deeper into the system
  • Access the Devil Anse Cemetery & Museum nearby
  • Ride directly from our driveway — no trailer

Intermediate / Technical

Rockhouse Trails 41 & 42

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.

  • Ridge-top views across multiple counties
  • More technical terrain — great for experienced riders
  • Trail 41 loops back through wooded hollows
  • Best fall foliage riding in the area

Beginner Friendly

Buffalo Trail 14

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.

  • Wide trail — great for side-by-sides and UTVs
  • Good for first-time riders and families
  • Connects to extended network toward Logan County
  • Several good stopping points along the route

Local Knowledge Required

Outlaw Trails

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.

  • Not on any map — local knowledge only
  • Access through Country Roads ATV Tours
  • Dustin Maynard — 2024 Coalfield's Best Tour Guide
  • Private groups and mixed groups available

Towns accessible by trail

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.

What to bring on the trails

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.

Best times to ride

The trails are open year-round (weather permitting), but some seasons are better than others.
