Lodging
Camping isn't allowed on the trail system, and trailheads have no overnight parking. Riders stay in the trail towns, at private campgrounds, or in rental houses. Our pick is Williamson: it's on Buffalo Mountain's connectors, and the town has food and fuel.
| If you're riding | Stay in | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Buffalo Mountain, Devil Anse, Rockhouse, Braveheart | Williamson, Matewan, Gilbert, Man | Connected group; ride from town without trailering |
| Pinnacle Creek, Warrior, Indian Ridge, Pocahontas | Pineville, Bramwell, War, Northfork | Southern connected group, a separate trip from Williamson |
| Other systems | Choose lodging near your intended trailhead using the Authority's directory | Check each system's location and access before booking |
Full disclosure: these two houses are ours. Booking direct on the house sites avoids Airbnb and Vrbo service fees, and you'll see the full total before you pay.
