We were just there September 12-19. We stayed at Browning Fork Trailhouse and thought it was great. It is on the Rockhouse Trail. That one is said to be a little more difficult than some of the others. I'm pretty new at ATV's, about a year and this oldman didn't have too much trouble. Even rode a black trail #28. It wasn't bad except for a long steep rocky hill with a turn half way up. We also trailered the quads to Pinnacle Creek, beautiful scenery along the creek, Buffalo Mountain, a lot of interesting things to see around the old coal mines, and Bear Wallow. Weather you stay at Browning fork or another place around there, I would suggest Rockhouse. It is centrally located so it is within 45 minutes of several other trails. Little Coal River is on the northern end of HMT, so you don't have the variety nearby. We did like Rockhouse the best of the four we rode. A great day is ride over from Browning Fork Trailhouse to Gilbert for breakfast, then ride to the other connector to Mann, then back to the Trailhouse. We had my 800 Sportsman,my sons KFX 700, his wifes 250 Can-Am (both 2wd sport bikes), and her mom and dad on a Arctic Cat 650 2X and had no problems. Any way you do it, you are going to have a great time, and meet some of the nicest people you have ever met. Go to the HMT website Hatfield and McCoy Trails - Hatfield-McCoy Trails Official Web Site- Home Page join their forum and you can find all the information you need.
