Conquer the Legendary Trails: Your ATV Paradise
West Virginia is synonymous with the iconic Hatfield-McCoy and Outlaw Trails. Sheppard's Holler puts you minutes from these legendary tracks where you can tackle rocky climbs, splash through mud holes, and soak in panoramic mountain views from the saddle of your ATV or side-by-side. But that's just the start – venture off the beaten path and explore the network of backcountry trails that weave their way through these rugged hills.
