CHARLESTON (AP) — Tourism officials say all of the Hatfield-McCoy Trails are open to riders once again, even though it may take up to two months to completely restore them.
Spring flooding in southern West Virginia damaged four trail systems in the 500-mile network: Buffalo Mountain, Rock House, Indian Ridge and Pinnacle Creek.
Executive Director Jeffrey Lusk said Thursday it may take a while to get everything in pre-flood shape, but ATV riders will find all trails open and most lodging providers back in business.
About 10 miles of new trails have been built because some had to be rerouted. Lusk says other old sections of trail are now bypassed, creating additional variations in terrain for riders.
