Trail Overview
On May 16, 2015 Coal Canyon multi-use trial system was officially opened with a little over 20 miles of large fields of views that you can only get on a reclamation area and has grown through the years to include 200+ miles of connected riding with Ridgeview Trail covering approximately 8,000 acres that can take riders to Breaks Interstate Park and the ATV friendly towns of Grundy & Haysi.
