Don't let the season fool you: the Hatfield-McCoy Trails are open year-round and winter is an especially good time to experience the more than 500 miles of trails in southern West Virginia.
"Just because you've ridden one of our Trails once doesn't mean you've had the complete experience," says Executive Director Jeffrey Lusk. "Each Trail is different each time, and with four true seasons, a ride in winter is nothing like a ride in the fall, or any other time."It's always a different experience," he said. "The air is crisp, and with fewer riders at this time of year, the solitude and 'back-to-nature' feel is extraordinary."You feel as if you're as far from the hubbub as you can be."
Access to all six trail system is easy, regardless of the season.
Permits for 2009 permits are available now.Permits for West Virginia residents are $26.50 (plus tax); the non-resident fee is $50.00 (plus tax).Permits may be purchased online, at the new Visitor Center on US 119 south of Charleston, at one of the four other staffed trailheads (Bearwallow, Buffalo Mountain, Rockhouse or Pinnacle Creek) or at one of more than 30 authorized retail locations throughout southern West Virginia. Many vendors also rent bikes and ATVs for the trails, so there's really no reason not to spend some time at Trails Heaven this winter.

Riding in the snow sounds like it would be a lot of fun. I'll but the mountains are beautiful covered in snow.
Oops. I meant "I'll bet"
