Will have to wait and see. I think I am due to be out of town on the 20th .

But please keep me posted on other events.

 

We will be doing mostly easy to moderate trails and will make sure there is a bypass on any difficult trials we do. We will not be doing anything extreme. My JK is a daily driver and most of the people that will be going on this trip are to. Our goal is have some fun out on the trails, drive it home and to work on Monday. The trails are located in the Land Between the Lakes National Recreation Area in KY. Turkey Bay has approximately 100 miles of OHV trails which cover a variety of terrain. LBL is located east of Cadiz KY off of I-24 approximately 90 miles from Nashville. Come on randy payne sign up. I promise you want regret it.

 

I'm a maybe at this point. Once my schedule is made through march I'll be able to give a more sure answer.

I've wheeled LBL a few times when I lived in clarksville. I really enjoy it and rank it as one of my most favorite spots i've been to. It's nothing to rough, but there are plenty for all who come. Plus, you can camp right on the waters edge and do some fishing if you'd like.

Just a friendly reminder, but the people who run Turkey bay are very big on tread lightly. They will close the park at anytime if there's substantial rain fall. It can stay closed for weeks at a time. there was a bad ice storm last year that had the park shut down for months!! So, just keep that in mind when planing for this trip.
