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.
