part of the Hatfield McCoy Trail System
Cabwaylingo Trail System sits on nearly 8,300 acres of state forest land in southern West Virginia. Its colorful name was chosen as a combination of the four closest West Virginia counties surrounding the forest – (Cab)ell, (Way)ne, (Lin)coln, and Min(go). ATV, UTV, ORV (such as Jeeps) and dirt bike riders will find nearly 100 miles of new trails to explore, plenty of parking for trucks and trailers and a trailhead facility with trail permits and Hatfield-McCoy Trails merchandise for sale. You can also purchase trail permits at Riders Retreat before leaving camp!
Cabwaylingo State Forest was established in the 1930s, by the Civilian Conservation Corps, to rebuild forested land in Southern West Virginia. This effort was instrumental in getting the state’s park system established. Over the years, CCC workers built log cabins as well as the many trails and shelters still in use today.
