All off-road enthusiasts are encouraged to join us as we gather on the West Virginia State Capitol Grounds for a common goal to support Off-Highway Vehicle (OHV) trail use in the Wild and Wonderful state of West Virginia. The trail rides will be at the novice level and will be opened to anyone that wishes to go. To help with logistics and to decrease traffic issues, we will be breaking up into suitable convoys to get from the capitol to the trail-head. We will be touring the back-country mountains of Kanawha County. Each will be expected to bring a bagged lunch.

The purpose of this event:
To show those who may not be familiar with OHVs the scenic beauty that our state has to offer, also the access that OHVs can provide to those that are interested in non-motorized recreation like fishing, rock climbing, kayaking, hiking, mountain biking, etc. There will also be educational opportunities about the hobby itself, trail maintenance, erosion prevention, and stream and trail clean-up efforts to name a few at TRAILS DAY;  inside the capitol on Friday 12/26/2021 .
