The trail system receives an estimated 20,000 to 30,000 visitors each year from the eastern United States and Canada.

Numbers and classifications are posted on signs at intersections as well as on trail maps that can be viewed on several kiosks on the property or purchased at a trailhead.

Due to the geography of Black Mountain, trails vary in elevation and often include hill climbs and descents.

Putney Trailhead is operated privately by Harlan County Campground & RV Park LLC.

Black Mountain Off-Road Adventure Area has been featured on numerous television shows including the Outdoor Channel's Ride To Adventure Extreme[4] and Fisher's ATV World and Spike TV's Trucks!
