Ivy Creek Pics

Rode a new area I hadn't been before Monday 7/7/08. Called Ivy Creek it is across the highway from the Hatfield/McCoy Little Coal River Trailhead. Not a real big area, but rode about 20 miles of some kick ass trails. Tight muddy, rutted, deep Hollow trails with some ass puckerin hill climbs and mud pits to play on. Several creek beds to travel. Here are a few pics of the area.






















Here is the GPS tracks from the ride.

nice pics Yank...

its time for you to get 4 pt harness system!!

Nice pics Marty! I have been there once......last November right before gun season. It was cold as snot, but damn we had a blast. There are some stupid hillclimbs there. After several pulls of my buddy's flask of Crown (the guy that rode with us with the camo Foreman), I think we tried most of them. Did you happen to make it all the way over to the river? That was a wicked trail we took to get down to the water beside the highway. A guy from NYROC (kingcrawler) was the one that turned me on to that place. I still like the trails you took me on better! I am glad you got to enjoy a day out on the trail.

Nice pix! Looks like a great place with lots of shade! That very important this time of year.

Yea, we made it to the river. That mud hole area right before the river is nasty.

The forest canopy in WV is really thick this year. The weather is the forest best friend this year.

No did not make it up there. My Rhino was too wide to get around that rock in the trail on the way up. Didn't feel like pullin winch line that day.

ohh..i made it up there easily with my rzr...just put it in low n in 4wd n went right up it...there are a couple other ways up to it too...theres a couple roads that will take you up to the top of this hill n then theirs a hill pretty much straight up n down that will take u up to the top where the rock is...

Not sure we are talking about the same trail. I'm talking about the rocky one that takes off from the end of the mud pits, and climbs the hill that runs along the river. About 200 yards up that trail a rock about 2 feet high sits in the middle of the trail. Yea, a stock RZR could go around it cause my buddy in his Kingquad went around it. I was too wide and would have went off the end of the drop off to the left. I had no choice but go over the rock and would have high centered for sure requiring a winch to pull me over it. I know coming down the service road to the mud pits there was a hill climb to the left off the service road that was extremely steep. Did not try that.

GREAT pics. Man that looks a LOT like the Frakesico ride I did last year....

Yea im talkin bout the same road....see the guy I ride to work with his girlfriend owns like 5,000 acres of land all down thru there...but ivy has always been a good place to ride....there are some other good places...but it takes a trip n a half to get to em...but they're well worth it...
