Trail Overview

This is a fun ride through the mountains and valleys of Fayette County, West Virginia. The road is only wide enough for one vehicle but has plenty enough room to pass oncoming traffic. Once you get to the bottom of the hill at the Meadow River, there are several directions you can venture off to, including a nice little sandy beach across from a beautiful waterfall. There is plenty of room for camping, fishing, and hiking. It's absolutely breathtaking down there.

pretty easy untill you get to the very end, there is a boat access and you can drive down to the river. the sand can be pretty brutal, although it was 10p, I had to try several routes to find enough traction, epic spot to camp though. 30in a/t tires, 4.5in lift, front locked.

Open all the way through until the trail disappears before reaching the Gauley access road. No obstacles besides small rocks and puddles
