How do I access "outlaw" trails?

Hey, this is my first time coming to ride in WV and I am really excited about it. We will be staying at Ashland campgrounds and I have read that the trails are near. But how do I actually get to the trails that require no permits? Will I have to go via HM trails to get to these trails? I am not familiar with the area at all so simple clear directions would be easiest. Thanks in advance to anyone who answers. I will be there 16th-19th of Feb if anyone is going to be that way and wants to show some folks from South Carolina some good trails.

I might be going by then....I'll keep you posted...

Just join up in one of our rides and we will show you

x2 You don't want to venture out on the outlaw trails by yourself or without knowing your way around them. Haven't you ever seen the movie WRONG TURN

I've been on them a few times with Bubba53 and some others and I have learned that it takes long time knowledge to drive around them trails without getting lost. I personally wouldn't do it by myself. Maybe an out and back, same trail. If you insist then get a gps. It may help or it may not. Check out the post in GPS & Gadgets talk marked H/M trails and some outlaw trails on gps. A good starting point would be Pinnacle Creek campground which is up the mountain from Ashland. The safest thing would be to go ahead and do H/M. Plenty of riding there or try to hook up with Bubba.

ryanmon1 this dosent have anything to do with the trails but my brother lives in columbia and works at the michelin plant and im from down around beaufort sc

Will do. Thanks for the replies. Ill post again in a few weeks and see whats going on then. Phmixson, small world isnt it?

im here

I'm in Irmo SC ryanmon1. I haven't been here long. Do you know any places to ride in this area?

hey phifer45 Carolina Adventure World is a must visit. Its an ATV park off of I-77 North about 45 miles out. About 100 miles of trails, and some are very tough. Its a great set up. I plan on going next saturday for the poker run

If I'm off Sat I'll try it out. If you see a camo RZR with a Texas flag flying that will be me

Ill be in a green Rhino with a cooler strapped to the bed. Ill keep an eye out for you. I usually park in the front lot. Try out Mammoth Hill if you get a chance, walk it first.
