Description: Something for everyone, tough hills, sweet downs, or you can just tinker around the flats near the top of the mountain. I can't Coopers isn't on the site. Best biking in Northern WV/ Western MD, hands down.

Hmmm....not so excited about this one. Very rocky throughout except on some trails which I found enjoyable. I thinks its worth the car trip if you are not too far since it also has the overlook which has an amazing view.

to start with its april and there was still snow on the trails, also couldnt really find the trailhead, apon a couple hours of riding finally found start point...if you wanna know where to start here you go. when turning into the park of off interstate 68, you will see a sign stating cooper rock state park on your right, about 500 ft on your right you will see a parking area, thats about where you will begin, unfortunately we didnt get to explore much after finding that area.We are hoping to go back up in a couple weeks after the weather here in mountains get a little dryer. well hope i could help you out in finding the trailhead. enjoy the amazing views of cooper rocks.

I was very disappointed in the trails here. All of the trails are covered in rocks. Not fun technical rocks. Just tons of small rocks that made the ride feel like I was on a paint shaker. When I tried to gain any speed it seemed like my bike was going to fall apart. The only trail that was not like this was the Roadside Tail, but that was just a wide flat trail. If you are in the area, go to Big Bear Lake instead. The park is a cool area to hike around and explore all of the rock formations, but terrible mountain biking trails.

Wish I had someone to show me around, but the trails we stumbled on were a blast. Im a converted road rider so I've got the legs just not the technical riding skills. my buddy Joel is a former bmxer but hasn't ridden much in the last 5 years, and his buddy Josh is 6' and 250 pounds and completely new to the sport of cycling. Even with our varying backgrounds and skill sets, we all found the trails challenging yet extremely enjoyable. Josh enjoyed so much he actually went out and bought a new and upgraded mtb for the next time we ride. I can't wait to go back for a guided tour from some of my other friends so I can finally get the grand tour at coopers rocks

I just moved to the area, and luckily live just 15 minutes away. I have ridden here many times in the past couple weeks, and love it every time. There is a bit of something for everyone here. The roadside trail is a nice bit of tame-ish singletrack that winds for 3 miles out to the overlook. There are many great loop options available with Daniel's run trail, the cross country trails, and Clay's run trail. An out and back ride to the view at Raven Rock (nice view and less crowds than main overlook) would be nice as well. Maps are available online, or free at the visitor center. Also on the other side of I-68 is the university forest which has numerous trails that merit exploration.
Similar Trail: The trails at Big Bear Campground are pretty close, and have many loop options. But it does cost 5 dollars a day, or thirty bucks for an annual pass at Big Bear. But there is no fee for Cooper's.

As noted Coopers holds some awesome trail and the history of the area is pretty neat also. Check out the old Iron Furnace and of course "Coopers Rock" overlooking the Cheat River Valley. There are several very rocky trails and some very fast and fun trails. Don't forget to check out Rattlesnake Trail where it takes you into "Rock City". Just Awesome.
Similar Trail: Gotta check out Big Bear Lake just a few miles east on I-68 at Hazzleton Exit. Over 25 miles of trails there as well
