The Hatfield-McCoy trail network offers something for everybody
No state in the nation has adopted the off-road community quite like West Virginia. Looking for a way to spur some economic growth in the area, one of the world's largest networks of off-road trails was developed - the Hatfield-McCoy Trail System.
A total of eight different trail systems are part of the Hatfield-McCoy network and many of them are interconnected, meaning once you park your truck and unload your vehicles, you can explore much of the system without having to load back up again. Surrounding communities have built businesses to meet the needs of visiting off-roaders, including restaurants, hotels, grocery stores and mechanics you can reach on your ATV or SXS.
The majority of Hatfield-McCoy trails are hard pack, though some areas offer some rocky areas and you will find mud if the area has seen rain recently. All of the trails we mention are open to both ATVs and SXS.
Any serious ATV rider knows about the amazing trail system in western West Virginia - Hatfield-McCoy. There is not a more ATV-friendly area than the towns around Hatfield-McCoy and in the southern reaches of the trail system, you should head to Welch WV and Coaltown Rentals. Coaltown is a Destination Yamaha partner and has a lineup of Kodiak 450 ATVs, RMAX2, RMAX4 and YXZ1000R SS machines ready to hit the trails. The trail system is always being expanded and new trails are coming soon, along with updates to the existing trails. Ask anyone who has been there and they will all say the same thing - it is impossible to pick a favorite trail. As an added bonus, there is a ton of history in the area with coal mining and, of course, the legendary feud between the Hatfield and McCoy families, with trails leading directly to many of the historic sites and markers.
