Bucktail parking area and trail head is a gravel loop (no backing required) and has spots for 8+ horse trailers. Overnight camping is allowed but there are no amenities. Bucktail parking has access to Long Mountain Trail (#1007), which is 8.7 miles to Judge Rye Rd (S.R. 691), and Bucktail trail (#1030) and Bucktail Connector (#1030A).
Bucktail (#1030) and Capon Trail (#1029) make a nice 10.5 mile loop, there is a single horse bridge crossing and part of the trail follows a rocky stream bed for a while.
These trails are part of the Old Dominion Endurance Rides 100 mile trail and connect to many other forset service trails. I recommend buying a Lee Range district map and plan on exploring.
Mant thanks to Sblenden for sharing this fabulous horse riding area in West Virginia!
