Hornet

Perhaps this trail, WV347 "Hornet" was worked on after it was originally submitted, because it is not a 2 rating. It is well maintained, graded and gravel throughout. It rates a 1, and any vehicle can easily use this road. There are no obstacles, ruts, rocks, or mudholes. You can camp or picnic at Hawk Campground, or there are a few primitive campsites along the road. At the very western end of the road there is a turnaround loop with a picnic table and firepit. There are a few trails off the main road, but these are for hiking/atv/horse use.

Very well-groomed gravel road that starts at the Hawk Campground entrance and ends in the middle of the forest. Some minor erosion, but you could easily do this trail in a sedan - definitely no high clearance necessary, and you don’t really need 4x4 … maybe if it’s reeeeeeally wet or snowy … maybe. Several dispersed campsites along the route, and the trail ends with a turnaround loop and a picnic table. Look for the Christmas Tree…

you access hornet via hawk trail. hornet rides the ridge to the west and goes right by hawk campground. the roads are maintained gravel with a few potholes. after the campground there are a few dispersed campsites along the ridge. the route dead ends at a turn around and a nice dispersed campsite.

Trail was easy, campsite is very nicely tucked away. Fun drive in the snow, better with a wingman but felt it was safe enough.
