Trail Closure Update! ‼️‼️‼️
Trail Update 🚨
There has been some confusion regarding current trail closures on the Hatfield McCoy Trails System. Please make sure you are checking official Hatfield McCoy Trails page updates and posted trail signage before riding. We have updated maps in our store.
As of Monday, May 18, 2026, the direct access route into the Town of Matewan (Trail 21) and the surrounding pod of trails are closed.
The Town of Matewan, WV is still accessible by road from:
Trail 43 via WV-Route 49 and
Trail 59 via WV-Route 65
(approximately a 5-minute drive from both directions).
From Devil's Backbone Adventure Resort, Matewan is approximately a 10-minute drive by road via Mate Creek Road to WV-Route 65.
Devil Anse Trail remains connected to Buffalo Mountain Trail through Trail 59 to Trail 18, and riders are still able to access both systems.
Please continue to ride responsibly and follow all posted signs and closures while enjoying the trails.
