Need to Know

Harrisville and nearby Ellenboro, WV both have gas stations and dining options. The North Bend Lodge has dining and overnight accommodations. This riding area is in close proximity to other trail systems at Mountwood Park, Wayne National Forest and the Marietta Trail Network and fits well with a multi-day riding trip to the region.

Description

Starting at the top of the hill, at the entrance to the Cokeley Campground, the trail descends to the edge of the lake with views of large rock outcroppings along the way. The trail wraps around behind the campground and joins the Old Farm Trail at the other end. Enjoy!
