Trekking along the northern boundary of the Ivy Branch Trail System, 18 is an easy dirt road that is generally one to one and a half vehicles wide. The road surface is hard-packed dirt with occasional potholes. Halfway through the trail is an optional mud pit with extremely deep ruts. The trail passes a unique overhang rock formation and foundational remains of a coal tipple. The trail is good for any vehicle.
There is no camping onsite, but many cabin rentals nearby.
Hatfield-McCoy Trails are open 365 days a year, from sunup to sundown. Permits are required for all operators and passengers. Additionally, all drivers and passengers must wear a helmet on the trails. This includes full-size vehicles such as Jeeps.
