Mercer County, WV When it comes to all-terrain, we’ve got it all: a vast trail network and a county known for great food, brews and history. Our ATV-friendly community starts with the famous Hatfield-McCoy Trails. More than 700 miles of off-road adventure wind through these southern mountains, and it all begins with Mercer County’s Pocahontas trailhead in historic Bramwell. This convenient access point to 1-77 has a spacious park- ing lot and rest area. Best of all, it’s open year-round and you can end your day of rugged muddin’ by ex- ploring Millionaire Row! There are plenty of places to roll your ATV on up for cozy accommodations! When you decide to stay a while, we’ve got hotels, cabins, and farmhouse B&Bs—all with Southern hospitality. Many properties can accommodate multiple machines, trailers and trucks—and offer locked storage and permits. For a really quaint and unique rest, climb up to a rustic treehouse. When you scram- ble back down, enjoy a good brew and meet the buffalo (yes, the real animal.)
