HMT Rockhouse Trail System
The Hatfield-McCoy Rockhouse Trail System is the largest single system in the entire Hatfield-McCoy network: 115 miles of trail covering 12,800 acres in Logan County, West Virginia, ranging from 950 to 2,200 feet elevation across the steep Appalachian ridgelines and hollows of the historic Hatfield-McCoy country. The Rockhouse system is also the most beginner-friendly of the HMT systems, with a higher proportion of smooth, easy hard-packed trails that give newer riders access to the grandeur of the southern WV mountains without requiring advanced technical skills. The terrain in Logan County reflects the area's coal-country heritage: narrow ridgeline corridors, forested hollows, reclaimed mining bench roads, and the occasional panoramic overlook. The Rockhouse system connects directly to the Devil Anse and Buffalo Mountain systems, enabling continuous riding across 300+ combined miles without returning to a trailhead, one of the most compelling aspects of the HMT network as a whole. The primary staging area includes a gated trailhead with parking for full-size trailers. ATVs, UTVs, and off-highway motorcycles are all permitted. An HMT annual trail permit is required: $26.50 for West Virginia residents and $65 for non-residents, available at the trailhead or online at trailsheaven.com. The system operates sunrise to sunset year-round. The town of Logan, 20 miles west, provides fuel, food, lodging, and parts for multi-day visits.
