Trail Overview

White Sulphur OHV Trail System is composed of several Forest Service roads and trails in the White Sulphur area, forming a 17-mile trail system of connecting loops. It is located near Cave Run Lake in the Cumberland Ranger District. The trail is located in moderately rugged terrain, primarily following ridgetops. Most of the trail is hardened with gravel to prevent erosion and impacts on the watershed. The trail is designed for novice to intermediate riders. Orange diamond-shaped blazes mark the designated trail route. Important Note: White Sulphur OHV Trails are open to motorized use between May 1 and November 30 only, passes are required. The trail system is best suited for single-day trips due to the lack of overall mileage. Cave Run Lake has multiple USFS maintained campgrounds and non-motorized trails with lots of scenic vistas. The nearby town of Morehead has several great food and beverage options.

never been to a trail as good as these, i actually got lost for about an hour because there were so many trail heads along the way. perfect for a dirtbike or fourwheeler. i didn’t even get to finish the trail and i was there for about 2 hours

Pretty good shape, def need knobby tires and some decent skill. Trails mainly in good shape, a couple downed trees blocked one trail. But a great place to a ride. Get your riding pass at the Valero gas station before turning on Main Street.
