And I thought it was just me, when I first aw that I thought they had it mixed up with Morris Mtn. Anyhoo, we're heading out there next month weather permitting. It would be nice to have some rocks out there instead of just red clay.

Nice rigs BTW--where you guys from?

I'm military, Savannah right now. Tim (4R) is from NoVa. This place had a sign pointing to it, Rockyridge or something like that, can't remember for sure.

They gave us kind of a lame map that had some hill climbs and a rock garden that is supposed to be pretty fun but we never made it over there. The main road to get over there was washed out and with it being so muddy, we couldn't tell how deep it was. I decided not to test the snorkel. We didn't really get in a lot of wheeling.

I think this place could be fun if it was dry. There were a bunch of jeeps there.

So is this breaking any park policies? Should we NOT be encouraging this behavior?

we're all about the tread lightly bit. We won't go somewhere unless it's marked. To be honest though, I doubt these guys down there would care much anyhow. Where we went was a clearly marked area, just hadn't seen much use yet i think.
 
I think the ideal conditions are rain 3 days out and then some dry weather to dry out some of the areas, otherwise it is sloppy.
I guess GA red mud is kinda like red wine, you gotta let it breath after its rained on.... ok bad analogy
 
I heard from one of my Lowcountry brothers that there is a small rock garden and a rock pile near the top of one of the trail areas, so it sounds legit. And you can see the trail off in the background of a couple of those pics above.

Thanks for the clarification. This is kind of a new park for most of us and it is known for its slick muddy trails. Happy to hear you guys had fun and that there are signs giving direction. Even if it's private property and you think no one would care, its best to stay on designated areas.

*soapbox moment*
You can believe that if public lands (Tellico) are being closed due to erosion the private lands aren't far behind. I work in the commercial construction industry and we already have to comply with strict storm water run off on construction sites (ie, private land), so its not a far stretch to apply that legal logic to ORV Parks.
*steps off soapbox*
:cheers:
not coming down on you, just saw a opportune moment to put my .02 out there.
