A Rover buddy told me about this place and apparently a lot of them wheel there. They like it because it has some good creek crossings. Has anybody been there or heard of it? If we don't get much riding done at Tellico for the Spring Fling, I was thinking about hitting these trails and checking 'em out on the way back on Sunday. So long as I can find good directions and somebody to come with. Looks pretty cool though. The pics I pulled from a guy's album on the same "land rovers only" forum. And apparently those are the trail head coordinates.

looks like it could be fun but I wonder how long the trail is and how difficult?

I'm looking into how long they are. They can't be too difficult if Rovers on 31s run it. Sorry, but that's just a fact.
Well, I'll be doing them eventually. Probably that Sunday after the Spring Fling, but if none of you guys can check it out I'll be going back up with that Rover guy and checking it out the week or so after that. Anybody is more than welcome to join us when we go. I'll have more info before then, but I just wanted to know if anyone on here had been.
-
Your map doesnt work. I would like to find more info about this place. Only an hour or so away. And his coordinates dont match google earth.
-
Yes, the map bringeth teh SuXor!
-
I think I have found the trails on Google Earth. If you go to Tiger, GA and go directly North, you can see some trails and those match the coordinates.
-
Well if it's an hour away... go check em out for us ;D ;)
-
I wouldn't mind going. I agree though, Rovers on 31's doesn't seem to pose too much of a threat. But, I almost would welcome the change. I just like getting off the pavement. If it's just a little "Sunday" drive on some trails, why not? Plus creek crossings! That was always the sh!t when I was little. My dad has his '86 Bronco and we'd go to the mountains to go trout fishing and we'd cross a couple streams and stuff, I thought it was awesome.
-
I need some exacts on the location. Street name or something other that gps coordinates.

I'll see if I can find something. My Rover buddy has never been there. Just talks about going all the time. I'll make him search their forums until he finds the street names.

I might would check these out with yall. Never hurts to have a winch when the Ranger decides to drown itself ;D
-
Straight up 985 tiger is only like an hour, I go through there a couple times a year.

That's what I was thinking man. We would be rolling right down 441 back into Athens so why not check this out if we're passing through. Anybody else is welcome to come too. I'll get some more info on the location of the trail head, length, and such.

and check to see if its legal or not

I've been looking for that too. I'm pretty sure they're forest roads, but I'm still searching the Rover sites for any of that info. Last Friday we did take my buddies Rover above Milledgeville to the Oconee National Forest OHV roads. That was actually pretty fun. Nothing too difficult, but you end up in the middle of no where and there are so many trails that we almost got lost. Those are legal. I went to the Ranger station and asked about them. They're there so the public can enjoy the forest. We're gonna take my Jeep and his Rover up there again soon. It was a lot of fun. We're gonna make a day trip out of those trails and the Rock Eagle historic site and 4-H grounds. ;D Yeah... we're history nerds.
-
Rock Eagle is an awesome place! Next time you history nerds decide to get out give me a ring, im a nerd too.
-
Hey Will,
Would you tell me more about the trails North of Milledgeville.
Exactly where are they? Off Hwy 212?

Yeah I definitely will.

Off of 411 just north of Eatonton. Heading north from town on 441 is the Rock Eagle entrance. We went in there and found the trails off of that road. (Not sure of the road name, but it's the main entrance.) The next time I'm going to Athens or to Rock Eagle I'm gonna get a map from the ranger station. The trails that we rode this weekend could all be done in 2wd with mud terrains. They were really fun though, and I'd go back in a second for more exploring if I had the gas money. A couple were dead ends into logged clearings. They were fun to explore at night in the rain.

I passed this place and was very curious on the way to RR.

If you like random American history stuff, it's a pretty cool place to check out. The only Native American site of it's kind east of the Mississippi. Plus you could use that as an excuse to go ride those Oconee Forest trails...... or River Rock. "Honey, let's take a nice family trip witch provides historical and intellectual value for the kids..... I gotta go see my buddy Steve at this River Rock place really quick." ;D

Or you could just be like "Look here woman! We're going to go ride these trails. The kids might just learn something on these particular trails. But then afterwards, WE ARE GOING TO GO TO RIVER ROCK, whether you like it or not!" And just lay down the law. Now, in my case that wouldn't work, so I'd have to go with your scenario Will. But you never know.
-
+1 on laying down the LAW

I'd be up for meeting you over there at Rock Eagle, Will. I chaperoned a three day field trip there with my daughter last year. I didn't know there were any trails there. I can be there in about 40 minutes though.

I mean if you guys want to let's do it. But keep in mind that the ones that we rode on could all be done in 2 wheel drive. Then you have to think about River Rock being 30 minutes from there. ;D
It would be fun to check out all the history stuff and then do some little Sunday trails, but all of you know that when guys get around each other in their rigs and leave the pavement, they wanna do something extreme. Somebody would get an itch and say, "So...... where are the rocks?" :D

haha Mike maybe ill show my age here but I remember my 4th grade 3 day, 2 night trip to Rock Eagle. Ah yes the best was sneaking out at night and playing all the pranks on the girls cabin.
I would be down for an easy ride with some good sight seeing, maybe a little history learnage (i was in 4th grade on a big field trip so didnt get much time with stuff) and hey if need be, River Rock is only 30 minutes away....
-
HAHA. DUDE! That's the first time I went too. 4th grade enrichment program. SO much fun. That was the first time I was interested in history and the first time I got suspended from school :D
-
Man, I never went on a multiple day field trips for school. I was lucky to get 1 field trip a year. And then all we ever did was go to Elachee Nature Center in Oakwood. It was pretty cool though. You got to play with this robotic T-Rex and go on a hike. So.. it was fun.
Lucky for me, in high school I knew which classes to pick, that plus I love art. But our art class would usually go to the High Museum of Art each semester.
