      In one of the largest youth service projects ever performed in National Park History, over 1,000 Boy Scouts provided 30,000 hours of volunteer service to build 14 miles of new, single track mountain biking trails in the New River Gorge.

      A grand opening ceremony was held in August 2011 for the Arrowhead Mountain Bike Trails. And this is just the beginning. There are future plans for Scouts to perform community service projects all over southern West Virginia.

      The system was named Arrowhead Trails in honor of the Order of the Arrow. The trails are a stacked loop, which means there are loops inside of other loops. You can ride them in any combination, and with close to 14 miles of trails, it’s a good addition to the many other trails in the area.

      With names like Adena, Clovis, Dalton, and LeCroy, the trails vary in length from just over 1 mile to 6.4 miles. They are designed to accommodate riders of varying levels of expertise, novice beginner and seasoned veteran alike. The system is located off Gatewood Road in Fayetteville, just a few hundred yards past the parking area for the Kaymoor Mines trail. Trail maps are online at the National Park Service website and are available at the trail head parking lot.
