In 2008, both sides met about the the East Lynn Dam Area and determined more would be done after the Hatfield-McCoy trail techs were allowed to “create” potential routes. The Hatfield-McCoy Trails says they’ve mapped about 60 miles of trails and that the Hatfield-McCoy trail authority took over management of all the current trail in the district.

Now, the trail system need to write a formal proposal, which includes both trail routes and trailhead sites. Once this is complete, Hatfield-McCoy with set the license agreements in place and begin construction.
