  • Anyone been to Hatfield-MacCoy Trail System?

    Now that UTV's are approved for over 300 miles! of the Hatfield-McCoy trail system in WV, has anyone taken their AATV? What a place to do a ride- if we can!

    Trails

    OK... from when i was there last year by a person that had an Avenger that lived there,..said that the trails were off limits to us. You have to purchase a sticker and they could not buy on because of the width of the machine. Watching the video i inserted i see no problem with this. They may have been just mistaken.

    The fine is if you do not have a sticker....but if you do not tell them what you have and you buy a sticker.

    Yes it is a awesome place to ride. I rode on the trails which were not the H/M trail for hours and didn't cross the same trail. These were logging trails.

    Before i would spend the time driving up there and being disappointed once there, i would call and confirm this fact.

    Loved every minute of the ride and these were un-kept logging roads

    If they would let us and maybe they have changed their minds, This would be a awesome outing!!!!!

    If you find out anymore on this matter please let us know. We were riding trails around the Beckly coal mine area.

    Hatfield and McCoy Trails - Hatfield-McCoy Trails Official Web Site- Home Page Information video

    Yes we rode on the road and that was really weird. I now see on their site they have a picture of a Razor.

    I am game for this adventure!!!! By 2011 they want to have 1,000 mile of trails. Could get a little saddle sore. Who is interested in making a trip like this? This would be a blast

    Just don't want to run into anyone with green teeth

    Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well-preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways , cigar in one hand, whiskey in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming "WOO-HOO, what a ride!!!"

      Interested in group Ride

      Is there any interest in maybe setting up a group ride at this Hatfield/McCoy trails. If so i will do some checking. Fellow member Gromet seems interested, is anyone else by chance? This would be a great place for an adventure. They are open 365. On my last post i included a video that explains some of the info for this area.

        Regarding width, yes the ATV rules/laws require 50 inch max, HOWEVER, the new rules regarding UTV's do not specify the width and some of the new UTV's are up to 60 inches wide. The UTV's- which is the class we fit- are approved for the easy and moderate level trails.

              Did you see the video Gromet? That is where i picked up that the rules had changed when i saw the side-by side machines. This would make for a great group ride.

              What is you location Gromet? West Virginia is not far from the Carolina boys home base.

                  Would be nice to get a bunch together for a ride. In the hill billy state.I am still trying to get my machine up and running with a 4 stroke,but once that is done ill be good to go. I also have a place to ride with camping on my property.we have a bunch of logging trails not to rough but a lot of wildlife,fishing and a nice swimming hole.If you don't mind cold water.(trout stream).never been to Hatfields and mcoy but my neighbors down at the cabin make it a trip every year. And they always seem to have a great story to tell about them.they all run 4 wheelers. lewis just go to the web site and click plan your trip and it will give you directions to all of the trails,and you can get all the info on permits and rules and stuff. they also have a nice video showing trails and all the other stuff they offer.

                        Sounds good. I don't think that we should try to go for the toughest trails. Mid range should be where we start. Just my thoughts. On the hardest trails a is required.

                          We are out of luck, folks. 800 miles of trails and we are not eligible because we do not have a steering wheel.
