Im new to Charlotte and Off Roading. I want to find some local, fairly easy trails for me and a few friends. Im in waxhaw, do you guys know of any?

 

Search Uwharrie - Google and YouTube. Lots of info and vids. You're less than an hour from one of best places left in the South. My club rides there a couple times a year.

 

Uwharrie Mountains

 

Gulches in SC. it's privately owned so it costs more. Their opening kickoff is Feb 16.

 

If you are new to off roading you will want to start with Uwharrie. Gulches is a great place but more intermediate to difficult trails.

There is an event at Uwharrie on March 30th and you can find some groups to ride out with.

Thanks, but im under 18, I think for Uwharrie you have to be 18. Is there anywhere without and age limit

 

Uwharrie is National Forest land, age restriction would apply to ATV use. If you are a licensed driver you can operate a full size vehicle without restriction.

The Compound off road park opened last weekend in Chester, SC. It is un organized, but over time will get it together.

It was more of a mud bog than anything, so wait till it drys out. Will be heading back soon.

 

I moved from North Jersey about 6 months ago..and am itching to get to URE this spring.. A couple guys by me go all the time..hit me up if you want to get out. There's also some Fire Roads up in the mountains, I believe.

 

Would love to tag along out to URE sometime, if y'all are ever looking for someone to go out there with you let me know.

I've had Jeeps in the past but never really been through trails so I'm excited to see what my JK can do.
