Newsletter also mentioned a new trail system eventually opening in Wayne County:

Big news for anyone interested in Hatfield-McCoy development: Trail System officials recently met with the US Army Corp of Engineers who are in charge of the East Lynn Dam Area in Wayne County, WV to discuss the construction of a new trail system.

The two sides agreed back in 2008 to allow Hatfield-McCoy trail techs to map the area and come up with potential trail routes in the area. More than 60 trail miles were mapped, including the trail authority taking over the management of current OHV trails within the district.

With both sides agreeing on the direction of the project, the next step for the trail system is to present a formal written proposal including both trail routes and trailhead sites. After this, Hatfield-McCoy will get the license agreements in place, and construction will begin! Stay tuned to our newsletter and the Hatfield-McBlog for updates as they happen.
