Where: 912 WindRock Road, Oliver Springs, TN 37840 (~8 hours from D.C.)
When: April 13th-17th (we plan to wheel the 14th-16th, Thursday-Saturday)
Who: Open Invite to the club. Family friendly as well! I'll have my wife, daughter, and dog in tow.
Cost: A three day permit to wheel is $55. Lodging can range from $18 a night for a primitive camp site to $200+ for a cabin. There are Yurts and many sites with full RV hookups available as well. The facilities and bath houses look to be pretty nice from what I can see in pictures. I've called WindRock and April is a busy month for them, if you want to attend it would be wise to reserve a location ASAP. I've reserved a cabin and they don't charge you until you check in.
Trails: I've not actually been here yet, all I know is what I've heard from some of you all + social media. WindRock looks to be similar wheeling to The Cove, but much larger in scale. It's 73,000 acres and over 300 miles of trails. They have a variety of options from easy - extremely difficult. I haven't checked it out yet, but the place has it's own navigation app for Apple/Android.
I've wanted to wheel WIndRock for a while now, so I'm making a point to do it in 2022. Many of you have expressed interest in being invited to more wheeling trips; this is your chance! If you are interested, please post up in this thread and I'll update this post with a roster. I will host a club potluck one evening, it would be helpful to know who is coming. If you have experience with WindRock (any favorite trails?) please feel free to contribute that discussion here as well.
One thing that I ask: PLEASE coordinate your trail-groups before arriving at WindRock. I'd like to keep the coordinating of this trip to a minimum amount of effort. I also don't want to arrive on the first day and have to trail lead for 20 trucks in a place I've never been before. As of right now I have 10 drivers (mostly 100 series or other wagons) who have verbally committed or already made a reservation with the park. I want to be inclusive, but it really is more fun for everyone if we keep the groups to a 5-6 vehicle limit. Use this thread to post up interest, tell everyone what vehicle you'll bring, there's a good chance there are other lurkers with a similarly capable vehicle that would like to join you.
Roster:
TBD
Potluck on Friday:
Call what side you want to bring now and post it up!
Camp Map:
This is the newest map I could find, the cabin I reserved has since been built.
Red: Primitive Camp Sites 4-7 and 18-21 are where I've directed some reservations.
Blue: We have one RV that already booked at A12.
