Trail Overview

This trail offers a wide, smooth ride with gradual inclines, minor ruts, and water bars, making it accessible for a range of skill levels. Throughout the longer route of 5.7 miles, it features large, sweeping corners and several well-marked intersections, with occasional steeper sections. Visibility through the trees is generally good, though caution is advised around blind corners due to potential oncoming traffic. The north end of the trail ends at a paved road near McComas, where riders can take the designated highway route to connect to the Indian Ridge Trail System. Signage directs riders to the West Virginia ATV Resort for fuel, lodging, tire service, repairs, and towing.
