Bearwallow West Virginia

[immi.jfreeman]

I'm heading to Logan, West Virginia next Friday for a 7 day trip with my wife and a wheelin buddy and his wife. We are gonna ride the Bearwallow trail. Any tips and or advice would be greatly appreciated. I test fit the yota on the new car hauler tonight. Leaving room for my buddy's Jeep. I think we are ready.

The green, blue, and black trails are all very similar. If you like trail riding stay on those. If you like technical challenging rocks, stick to the red-blacks.

I hope you're not expecting to just wheel the rigs the entire time? You could easily wheel all of BW in 2 days or less.

Watch out for low bridges.

Not sure where you are staying, but there is a low bridge in one of the towns on the way to the main trail head. I believe its where you turn off 10 onto 17.

We made it to Logan! No bridges or power lines were in danger. 11'7½" to the top of the truck anyway. Any suggestions on which trail head to use? We're staying in Chapmanville. Biggest concern is parking a 40' long rig and it not being in the way. We've already run into a few dirt bike riders expressing a little bitterness about running into trucks on the trails. Thanks

Just saw this but looks like you guys found your way. We used the main entrance behind Wanda's trailer park.

Bearwallow is a blast! Did Long Crawl yesterday. That'll wear ya out! We cut 2 valve stems and 1 tire but made it through without pulling cable. Going back today in a little rain.

Has anyone used any campgrounds that are close eo the trail head? @livetorun

 

[GONOVRIT]

The guys I wheeled with stayed at the one right at the entrance in a bare bones cabin. Nothing special but they said it was fine.

 

[Jason W.]

Do y'all remember a name of the campground?

 

[GONOVRIT]

It's got a callalantee feel to it from the videos!! Which trail is the creek trail I noticed they were opening a lot of new trails on the fb page. Some had never been attempted!?

If you comment on which video I'll try to get you which trail number it is.

Not everything is on the map, and the map is changing frequently as new stuff gets ran.

The creek bottom trail is "the long crawl" and is awesome. It's like 1.5 miles long.

Great meeting and wheeling with you guys @DSM Turbos. @ObeseFieldMouse
