Directions to five points

Can anyone help me with some sort of directions to a trailhead? We are hoping to go ride this sunday if the weather isnt too miserable. I've searched all over the place and can't seem to get any idea of where it is.

Anyone?

Wish I could help you out but I don't have a clue. I wanted to tell you that's an awesome avatar pic you have. Is that coming out of the 2nd tunnell in Bluefield?

I have never been to 5 points but I know it is in Wallace WV. It is really not all that far from you. I would Google Wallace WV and find the best route for you to go.Just did the Google and it shows 82 miles, 1 hr and 25 min. That is Wallace, Harrison CO.

barsav, 5 points is at wallace, about 20 miles north of Claksburg on route 20. Don't go this sunday, the land is owned by a hunting club and riding is off limits during hunting season. Here in WV Sunday hunting is allowed on a county by county area, 5 points is in Wetzel (or part of it anyway) and Wetzel does have Sunday hunting. It would be best to wait to come over after the first of the year.

Hot Rod, that is at the WV, MD border on I-68, only a couple miles from Barsav.

Wallace is an unincorporated community in Harrison County, West Virginia, United States. Wallace is located on West Virginia Route 20 8 miles (13 km) .

Rhinorider is right about hunting season.

My Bad, I said 20 miles, I meant 20 minutes.

@WVHRR--thanks for the help or at least getting me noticed. My avatar pic was actually taken from Williamson, WV on the H/M connector. We stayed at the Sycamore Inn a few weeks ago and that's the 1st thing you see getting on the trail. Had to have a pic.

@Garnog--with the help of youtube, I was able to figure out the 5 points was in or near Wallace. I've went as far as using Goggle Earth to try and find trails. Didn't really want to ride and hour and a half to just drive around in the truck trying to find it.

@Rhinorider--Thanks you very much, I really appreciate the info. The hunting season question would have been my next one. We have the same issue here in MD. Places are very limited to ride this time of year because of that.

Myself and ECMTV are (dare I say it) probably gonna head to PA then on Sunday.

Thanks again everyone!!

don't let the hunting issue stop you Barsav. There are only about 1000 acres that are part of the hunting clubs land and Sunday hunting is illegal this Sunday anyway. The Sunday that preceeds the first day of doe season is a non hunting day even in the counties that still have Sunday hunting. I think I may know 5 points and the trails around it about as well as anyone and I will tell you it is immense!!! Alot of guys only consider the trails that are in a very close proximity to 5 points itself as being 5 points trails. It's like saying if you ride from the Wagon Wheel to welch you are no longer riding the Wagon Wheel. I would suggest you go to 5 points, unload and ride. If there is a trail and it doesn't say keep out, then ride and explore. I could take you and show you an easy 1000 plus miles of trails and still have many more to show you. This pretty much encompasses 5 counties, Harrison, Doddridge, Marion, Tyler and Wetzel. If you look on Google earth find New Martinsville, Hundred, Mannington, Lumberport, Sardis, Centerpoint, and Middlebourne. These towns pretty much form a circle and you can ride to all of them from 5 points and hit very little blacktop. I hope this helps!!! Sorry I wrote a book though, LOL!!!

Thanks Thunter. We will check it out this weekend then!!

Hopefully we can all get together up there one day soon so you can show us around.

That would be great!!! This job i'm on wont last to much longer, in fact i may get laid off today:) So I plan on doing some riding soon!!! I'll shoot you a message when I get some time and maybe we can hookup.

That sounds good be sure to hit me up aswell...since I've had my rzr only got to ride it once and ive had it 3 months or more

If you decide to go anytime soon, I could get a few to join.

I'm going riding tommorrow in fact. My dad just bought a new RZR-S and he needs to break it in a bit. We have been waiting on a day when it's above 30. I'll keep an eye on the weather and if it looks like we can get a decent day to ride i'll contact you. I don't mind riding in the winter but if it's below 30 i'm riding the couch.

Its bad when 30 feels warm!

Anybody riding today or tomorrow...I'm off finally

I might be out and about tomorrow

Where you ride

there's a few local spots not far from town

Oh where abouts...not many places here in mo town...

lol maybe more than most think... you from mo-town?

Yep...any place I have ridden around here consist of mostly road riding which I hate...or the risk of getting shot lol

pm sent

Come on now, don't hold out on the Motown riding spots. All the ones I used to know of are posted now.

I've lived here most of my life and seen...many riding spots disappear...cuz they keep building and building here and the woods and the trails are disappearing fast...

I know that for a fact. We do a ton of work in Motown. Thats the only place I've seen that hasn't slowed down. They keep throwing houses up everywhere.

Yeah it sucks...it use to be woods and trails right out my back door now the university owns it and the woods by my house have been cleared and putting up town houses and apartments...I'm ready to move
