monangalia county back roads

I am new to the site and Mon county. My wife and I will be looking for places to ride in Mon. County.We  Live off of Summer School Road. Does anyone know of a Map I might be able to get with ATV friendly roads and trails?

 Welcome to the forum!  I used to ride bicycle on the rail trail out that way when I was in college and couldn't afford a sxs lol.  Very nice country.  I now live in Taylor County and there are a lot of back roads and trails that go all over.  Any unlined road in WV is legal for sxs, so I'd say go explore and see what you can find.  I have seen photos around the web of people riding out toward Masontown and down Bull Run into Blue Hole, etc.  You should be able to link up with the folks on here that ride in Preston County out toward Hazelton.  If you make it down toward Tygart Lake I'd be happy to share my GPS tracks with you.

There's plenty of riding not far from you. I've ridden from my house (in MD) to my buddy's house in Brookhaven. Some blacktop but a good bit of gravel/dirt back roads.

Basically 2 ways you can go -- from Summers School, go out rt 7 to Tyrone Rd, take R on Mayfield Rd (some trails off of it I haven't explored yet) to R on Snake Hill Rd, take L on Cale Rd (not the lane but the 2nd one), follow that to Ridge Rd then to Bull Run.

We also ride down Cheat Rd and cross the lil Cheat lake Bridge, past BFS then make R onto Quarry Run Rd. take that to top then R towards 68 down to Old Rt 73. Ride it to Sand Springs Rd on Left.

Those will both get you close to some good riding. I use google maps a lot to check things out before I ride.

Thanks guys, I have a front wheel off now going to get the bearing pressed this week. Looking forward to summer

Just happened to see this.  Check out the threads in "other places to ride"  you can find some gps tracks

When you get it scouted out, give us a shout, I'll come up!

We've got plenty of stuff to ride. I can put together a couple of 100+ miles routes whenever you guys are ready.
