Stay on that road untill you get to Sicily Island. If you use your blinker before you get to Sicily you are making a wrong turn. Its 4 lane and changes names like 5 times.

All the way to the end on your left ... Hwy 915 is the park. 915 turns to gravel before you get to the park. You will see a sign that says Deer Creek RV Park on the right side of the road and a gravel road turns right, a sign to the left going into the ORV park, and straight ahead leads to the trails at the park.

Default great ride.

This was a great ride... I got there a little after 10am and just drove around for awhile, then ripped off my rear fender (my fault) on a tight squeeze through the trees. Then I went up a decent pitch with boulders the size of office chairs... I felt better after that.

I caught up with some TJ's and a Redrock Lifted JK Unlimited with 37's, so I tagged along with them... which got me into trouble a couple of times with my mostly stock Rubicon, but they were quick to pull me out.

Anyway, any Louisiana JK people bitching about nowhere to ride need only take a day to go up to Sicily Island / Catahoula.

Apologize for the lame pics... I was too busy driving. I'll upload some vids later.

I wanted to go BAD but had prior plans I couldn't change. Is that park open daily or only on appointment?
