Trail Overview

If you like dirt roads, this place is for you--it's miles upon miles of dirt/gravel roads. This route takes about 3.5 hours over almost 40 miles of some of the prettiest country Nicholas County, West Virginia, has to offer. Along these trails, you will more than likely see about every wild animal the state offers and some old abandoned structures. You will also get to see Nicholas County's Wind Mill Farm. It's lots of fun, and you can make a day out of it--maybe even a week with all the side roads. Be sure to leave it better than you found it!

Long trail pretty mild without the snow and ice good evening ride with pretty views didn’t get to take a lot of pictures. Nettie side you will pass cool little church and coal mines Richwood side you exit on a timber road in the town of Richwood. You will be on active haul road with large coal trucks and then where log trucks are hauling. Coal roads are large enough where you can get by without a CB but probably should have one Log Road on Richwood side Says CB is mandatory but is big enough where you can get out of the way. Good ride would do again.
