This new offroad area offers 8,600 acres of wooded forest and about 60+ miles of multiple-use trails that mainly consists of old logging roads. The terrain is mostly hardpacked and smooth, making it a good choice for beginners or those just looking for a relaxing ride.
The park is open daily from 8am to 5pm. Overnight parking is not permitted but camping can be found a short distance away at Roan Creek Campground. Cabin and lake house rentals can be found about 10 miles away. A permit is required which can be purchased onsite during weekends or at local vendors during the week.
The park is still in the construction phase but there is visitor center available during weekends and a vault toilet in the staging area.
