Finally made it to Hatfield-McCoy Trails last weekend

Rode 45 miles on the Buffalo Trail and was shocked how well marked everything was, even for a first timer. Did anyone else find the water crossings way deeper than the map suggested?

The Buffalo Trail is a good choice for a first timer, but I would push back a little on the water crossings. Those depths on the map are usually measured in dry conditions. After any rain, which happens a lot in that area, they can rise a foot or more. I rode it last October and a few spots were over my skid plate, even though the map showed them at six inches.

Wait, over your skid plate? That's way deeper than I'd ever expect from a beginner trail.
