The Hatfield-McCoy Trail System in West Virginia is known the world over as one of the premier off-highway vehicle trails in the nation. And as good as the Hatfield-McCoy Trail System is, it’s about to get even better, with the inclusion of 150 miles of new trails this spring.
Have you heard the news? Two new trails have just been added to West Virginia's world-famous Hatfield-McCoy Trail System!
Opening to the public on March 1, 2021, these two additions to the current trail system wind through over 150 more miles of beautiful West Virginia mountains, and you can be among the first to explore them.
The two new trails are the Cabwaylingo Trail and the Ivy Branch Trail. The Cabwaylingo Trail is located within the Cabwaylingo State Forest in southern West Virginia - the first state forest to completely encompass a Hatfield-McCoy Trail. The Ivy Branch Trail, located not far from West Virginia's capital city of Charleston, partially follows the Little Coal River.
(The Ivy Branch Trail has been part of the Hatfield-McCoy Trail System before, but it's been closed for a good while now and is reopening as a new and improved version of itself this spring!)

Both new trails offer plenty of thrilling curves, beautiful views, and memorable activity options for the off-road adventurer.
The Hatfield-McCoy Trail System, comprised of 10 trails totaling nearly 800 miles in length, is one of the largest off-highway vehicle trail systems in the world.
Named for the two infamous feuding families living (and fighting) along the Kentucky/West Virginia border during and after the Civil War era, the Hatfield-McCoy Trail System is famous in its own right as a one-of-a-kind opportunity to explore and experience Appalachia.
