Lots of different versions of maps out there for the Coopers Rock State Forest.
Right now, this is the one I like best. Not all the trails are named, but we still know what they are. This is the one we're going to be going by for course description and such.

Thank you Steve Harouff.

Got this from the WV Forestery site pertaining to Coopers Rock-
More Coopers Rock Info

Please keep in mind-
We simply cannot pre-mark the course. It gets torn down and then all is for naught. We mark it Saturday afternoon and we still have to review parts of it and make things right. Unfortunately it's just the way it is and has been. Thank you for your patience and consideration.

Beginner Course and the start of everyone else -
Coopers Rock 2015 Beginner Loop
Yes, we are going to be starting on the road. No, we aren't going to be starting at the bottom. Roughly about .4 miles up, where it levels out a bit.
This is the way the race started originally and for many, many years. Before lightweight bikes, before clipless pedals and fancy shoes.
Henry Clay Furnace Road up to the top of the Rail Grade, Advanced Ski Trail, right turn then onto the Intermediate Ski Trail towards the reservoir.
At the rock cairn, take the left for Lower Reservoir Trail, across the dam, up toward Roadside, then hard right onto Libor Trail and down, down, down.
Hard right instead of going straight to The Wall, and left down to Clay Run Trail and on to Henry Clay Furnace area.
Bear left at the bottom and go up Rhododendron, up, up, up, to the right turn to take Bench-Cut Trail up to the Ridge Hiking Trail and left to go to Rock City.
At Rock City turn right into it and through, then pop out and go down Ridge Trail, down, down, down, until you bear right onto Mont Chateau Trail and go up that rocky trail/stream-bed leading to the Furnace area.
Everyone goes up and around the Furnace, Beginners go straight and up Clay Furnace Trail to finish at the parking lot.

Sport and Experts will turn right up the Advanced Ski Trail/Rail Grade, to the top and make the right and down Intermediate Ski/Reservoir Trail, same trail that you did on the first lap, over to the reservoir. Do the same thing as above, but at the bottom of Clay Run Trail and Henry Clay Furnace the Sports will go up the Clay Furnace Road to finish and the Experts will go up Rhododenron again and do that whole loop, then finish once they get back to the Furnace and out Clay Furnace Trail.

~9 miles for Beginner.
~14 miles for Sport.
~18 miles for Expert.


Coopers Rock is hilly and rocky and so is this course. Please keep that in mind... #respecttherock
