Burning Rock Off Road Park

Burning Rock Off Road Park is a 10,000-acre former coal land OHV park in Raleigh County, West Virginia, near Beckley, reclaimed surface mine land converted to one of the most ambitious private OHV operations in the Appalachian region. The park's scale is significant: 106 miles of private trail ranging from marked easy family routes to extreme technical terrain where a winch is the operating recommendation, not a precaution. The coal country setting gives the riding a distinct industrial-archaeology character: bench roads cut into former mine contour terraces, open ridgeline spoil areas with sweeping views, and forested recovery zones where second-growth timber has reclaimed the flatter graded areas. The 70-acre trailhead complex is one of the most developed in the region: general store, covered pavilion, shower facilities, ATV wash rack, Polaris RZR rental fleet, four private cabins, a bunkhouse, glamping tent accommodations, 12 full-hookup RV sites, and 28+ tent sites. Motorcycles, ATVs, UTVs, and Jeeps are permitted on appropriate routes. A $20/person annual membership plus daily ride fees ($25 for riders 16+, $15 for ages 6–15) cover the permit structure. Beckley, 20 minutes south via I-64/I-77, provides full urban services as a base.
