CHOCCOLOCCO ORV PARK AND CAMPGROUND

OPEN RIDE - EVERYONE'S INVITED

FEBRUARY 17 - 18

DISCUSSION THREAD ONLY

Ride CHECK-IN thread is here: http://www.gatrailriders.com/GTRForums/index.php?topic=19576.0


Choccolocco Mountain is located in Jacksonville, Alabama, just outside of the town limits.The park is 450 acres of rocky mountainous trails. The trails range from moderate to extreme.
Restaurants, hotels, and auto parts stores are only about five minutes from the park.

    We allow any type of off road vehicle. The trails are very rough, rocky, and steep in some areas. Even the main trails may be too rough for 4 wheelers and dirt bikes. Side by sides & 4x4's with larger tires are capable of trail riding on the main roads. This mountain is the extremely modified vehicle's paradise! The extreme trails are the best in the southeast. You ride at your own risk.

    The campground includes beautiful overlook views, wooded primitive camp sites, a bath house with restrooms & showers, RV campground with power & water hookups, and a children's playground.
We are approximately 5 minutes from the Jacksonville State University campus.

Trails descriptions:

TIER 2 – Intermediate: Rides that are open to all 4x4 vehicles. There will be challenges for stock to fully built rigs. Plenty of bypasses for lesser built vehicles. Some damage/Broken parts can be expected, depending on how far you want to push your vehicle. You will have a chance to gain a lot of off-road experience on these rides.

TIER 3 – Hardcore: Rides for fully built rigs. These rides will not be for the faint of heart. You must meet the vehicle requirement set by GATR STAFF to join these rides. These rides are for the most experienced drivers. Most trails on these rides will be hard.

This is a really fun park.  Easy to get too, good parking area/trailer area.  Lots of trails for every style of wheeling. 

Haven’t been in a year.  Looking forward to it.

I haven't been wheeling since 2019.  It will be nice to get out on the rocks and have some fun.

Any thoughts on dinner plans?  Isn't there a Mexican place close?

The last time I was at Chocco was 2010 and my Jeep was broke. I was able to bum some seat time though. Some of you guys might remember this JK.

From what I can remember, it was not a cake walk. I’ll at least drive up and look at it 😂
