| DESCRIPTION |
This popular recreation area offers about 100 miles of challenging trails, with scenic views and primitive camping near Kentucky Lake. There are a few single-track trails, but most of the terrain consists of rocky trails with steep rutted hillclimbs and numerous mud pits. 4WD vehicles and dune buggies are common here, and a permit is required to ride or drive at this location. Permits can be purchased at the gate entrance or at one of three visitor centers. The recreation area is open year-round but closes during heavy rainfall or other bad weather. Camping is $8.00 per night and quiet hours are from 11pm-6am.
