Mountain Biking CVI Trails
#5 of 112 mountain bike trails in West Virginia
These are awesome trails for beginners to practice their skills on and just a beautiful ride for even the experianced. For the experianced rider, be sure to find your way to Mt. Strip Mine, Moonrock, and Hoo Doo Rocks. For the inexperianced rider, you can take on everything the lower trails have to offer. Once those feel easy, then take a chance at the three more difficult areas. You can make up sooo many different loops in here it is amazing. Impossible to get lost, just decide which way to go and ride. Keep those eyes open as well and you might even get to see one of the black bear that call this area home. In July and August be sure to have something to carry some of the blueberries that grow everywhere along the trails. To get some awesome views of the wind power units, climb up on Mt. Strip Mine. See pics. This is no doubt one of the most awesome places in the Tucker County area that any rider can enjoy. Camp 70 Rd. follows the blackwater river and can be used to link anywhere along the trails. There are also primative campsites along Camp 70 Rd. where you can camp right along the river and enjoy the trails without driving any further. Loops can be ridden and by crossing Rt.32 in Davis you can connect with Blackwater Falls State Park, make a loop up to Plantation Trail, out Lindy, back Canaan Loop Rd. into Blackwater Falls and back to camp. Many other trails in the area, see Blackwater Bikes for more. Check out the pic of a map for the CVI trails. It's not the greatest but will let you know the basic layout of the trails.

If coming south on Rt.32, drive through the quaint little town of Davis, WV. and go straight through (left) at the "Y" intersection where Rt.32 crosses a new highway bridge. You will see a grocery store there, stay to the left of it on a small blacktop road. As you go behind the grocery store you will cross a narrow bridge onto a gravel road (Camp 70 Rd.) Within 200 feet there is a parking area and two of the trails begin here. The one you are looking at starts out as an old double track that is nearly singletrack. There is another trail that comes out on your left just before the parking area. If you are coming from Canaan Valley, turn right at the first intersection after crossing the new highway bridge coming into Davis. Be sure to stop in a check out Blackwater Bikes on the main street in town (Rt.32) They have played a big part in building these and many other trails in the area, so if you want to know the latest trail info, stop in an chat with Roger. If you like to camp but don't like the primative camping on Camp 70 Rd., go toward Blackwater Falls SP, there is a private campground just a 1/10th mile up that road and there is a nice campground in Blackwater Falls, both with services.
