Big Mick Update
Movin’ into high gear: Trail system progress is welcome news
Bluefield Daily Telegraph
Excerpts:
The movie “Field of Dreams” taught us “if you build it, they will come.” If that’s the case, enhanced tourism opportunities are on the horizon in McDowell and Mercer counties with continued development of the Hatfield-McCoy Trail. Construction is now underway on a 70-mile segment of the trail in McDowell County, which, when complete, hopefully will expedite development on the Mercer County portion of the recreational trail in the not-too-distant future
Officials are tentatively planning to open the McDowell County portion of the Hatfield-McCoy Trail in February or March.
Along with economic development opportunities for McDowell and Mercer counties, the trail system also brings the potential for a safer environment for those riding all-terrain vehicles. Experts have noted there are fewer ATV fatalities on the trail system than in other areas, perhaps due to enhanced safety requirements on the trail.
