This large area is located outside of Chattanooga, Tennessee and offers many miles of ATV trails. The two designated campgrounds in the forest provide direct access to the trails however large trailers and RVs are advised to stage at Hunters Check Station Campground as there is more ample room then Davis Pond Campground.
