Pipestem also offers guided fishing trips through Pipestem Adventures . Adventures on the Gorge is operating all activities at limited capacity during its regular season , and lodging is available .
In Mercer and Logan counties , you can find the Hatfield- McCoy ATV Trail System , which have seen an increase in visitation because of the ability to socially distance outdoors . Visitors can also bring their own food and campers , and because most of the lodging is cabins , there is not a lot of interaction between guests . The National Coal Heritage Association also has developed History Outside walking tours in the small towns of Mount Hope , Hinton , Welch , Bramwell and Oak Hill to learn some history of the state while experiencing the outdoors .
