Park was great, but I could see it would not be if it rained.

Dunno if it was better than Washita and about as far away, but it was different.

Campgrounds were OK. Be nice if there was any facilities open, but they discounted the price and probably half didn't have to pay.
 
I loved the park. Its like green, meets orange, meets cliffs. Best facilities Ive ever seen. Super well maintained, and well labeled trails. $10/day!!

The camp was cool too. The owner seems like a good guy and apologized a ton for having closing the facilities just before we came. He was under the impression we were all in campers. lots of hookups. Sells wood and ice on the honor system for cheap. It was a bit more crowded than we are used to, but still not bad. Our camp site was at the end of the long road/entance into the park, so there was constant traffic almost 24hrs/day. Luckily Todds camper blocked the headlights.

Id do it again, but maybe not for only one day of wheeling (too far) Maybe we can do a badlands/redbird long weekend, or we could include it in a second PYS.
 
If we are talking about a second PYS in Indiana, don't forget Interlake...another large state-owned/DNR managed property down by Evansville (3500 Acres). A few of us have been there but not for a few years. By now, it probably rocks pretty good. DNR: Interlake Property
 
never been there....soooo should we do redbird first or second?

Or to break up the drive do redbird 1st, interlake 2nd, and badlands (or just a night at summers) 3rd.
 
Interlake does not have near as much rocky terrain. There are a lot of tight woods trails.
I don't think the fip would care for it with it being even farther than Redbird.
I enjoy Interlake but there are not as many challenging trails there.

Im not sure as to which fip you are refering...but I dont need rocks or challenging trails. At this point anything new is fun to me!
 
Bill, have you been to Interlake lately or was that when we all went a few years ago? I remember it being very challenging and they were developing new trails. Southern IN can be very rocky so I would think there is some of that we didn't see or has been developed. If I am not mistaken, the website said 50 miles of trails.

Not to rain on everyones parade here, but why have a PYS trip with parks that consist mainly of mud? In case nobody has notice, most the time there is an event, there is good amount of rain.

If you guys are thinking about a second trip what about Harlan, KY and Golden Mtn Park (new GSMTR location). Terrain looks similar to that of MO mean more rock and minimal mud (I would assume)

Of course dont mind me. I drive a subaru:flipoff2:
 
I have not been there this year. I was there twice each of the two prior years.
There is only one small hard core area that was way too much for me to even think about trying.
Cruiser Jimmy was there for one of those trips as was Booty. Jimmy didn't seam to care for the tightness of some of the trails in his 80. One day would cover the challenging trails. It is a fantastic property and as I said I enjoy the place I'm just not sure everyone else would.

The last time I was there the trail were very overgrown as if there had not been a lot of wheeling being done there.
 
Who the flunck has that much time off work? I should be a teacher or at least "actively involved in the off-road community" to be able to pull 2 weeks off. Or work for the post office?

Just think; the perfect alibi. "Yeah, Phil was wheelin' with us all weekend" said Clint, who was passed out at the campfire while Phil emptied his firearm at the ex's house... or maybe everyone would tell how all you could talk about all weekend was how yer ex:princess: was "gonna get it...":doh:

:hhmm:...just bring lots of :beer::beer::beer: that weekend... :hillbilly:

Interlake is a lot like Redbird, a little less steepness to the hills but very similar. I haven't been there very much but need to go more often, its only 20 miles from the house.

There is a club near hear called Tri-state Jeepers that ownes some propery near interlake that is much more of a challenge than Interlake. We may be able to set up a run through their property if you want to try. Josh (twentyfootdaredevil on here) is a member.

I'm VERY interested in a trip to Tenn. even more now that I may have trouble getting off June 11-19(nothing positive yet but maybe). Love the wheeling in Tenn. maybe a fall tour?

I too would think a tour of TN parks would be soaked in A. There are several parks down there that look pretty good.
