Man I hate that, haven’t heard my wife laugh that loud when we we’re getting airborne over one of those jumps in the 4 wheeler ever!
We used to ride there 2-3 times a year. Too much liability now I suppose.

Killed a nice buck there back in the mid 2000s. Nice folks down there.

Sad. There was another riding spot near Athens. Can't remember the name but, took the wife and son there, stayed in a cabin and had a blast. Closed. Use to ride at Culloden. Closed. Now Durhamtown.

I was looking at riding the orv trails in the nat forests. But I have a Polaris ranger that is over the 50" rule for most trails. Are there any nat forests trails that do not have a width restriction? Not really interested in sinking my sxs in a mud hole at a park

Brimstone is my favorite place to ride but its in east Tenn along with Royal Blue, Winrock and a few more. East Tenn has the best riding and cabins around. We just got back from riding at Winrock in the snow witch was a blast. Look up lifetime trail maps its a big help.

Not surprised, too many fools drinking and riding, also the SxS would always find their way into the jeep park or restricted areas. I used to go there monthly in the jeep or dirt bikes, people were always getting life flighted out of there. The management and employees were always great to deal with, sad to see it close, but it was just too many drunks running around.

I never saw anyone drink and ride at Duram town. You must have them confused with another park like Boondocks.

Hard to confuse the 2, especially since I've never ridden at any other offroad parks in GA. Maybe they cleaned things up in the las 4yrs, but we quit going when I was almost hit by a SxS, that ended up crashing into a tree right in front of me in the jeep park, both passengers were ejected, and both with compound fractures in the arm & leg. Beer & mini bottles of Jack Daniels were scattered across the trail. Thankfully my wife was with me who's a paramedic and she had her jump bag with everything to treat both riders in the back of our jeep. I went to Duram town at least once a month for 9yrs and I can tell you that I seen someone either drinking on the trails or in the parking lots 50% of the time. It didn't bother me much until I had kids who started to ride, that's when we quit going. It's such a great place outside of the few bad apples, but that's the case with almost anything.

Looks like someone has reopened the place formerly called Durhamtown. Same address.
