tennessee

coal creek atv trail is one of the best i have ever been to!!! it is located off of hwy 27 north in oakwood tennessee.

This place sounds like it would be a blast...We are thinking about going in 2007 as it is around 900 miles from us. I need to find out more about the surrounding facilities first though.
Thanks gagoosebuster for giving us the thumbsup

Some friends of mine rode there a while back. Get with mightymikeheadman with the soggybottomboyz or the windrockwarriors. This guy knows this place like the back of his hand.

I've heard the Windrock ATV Jamboree is awesome but I've just never been able to go... maybe someday when work gets caught up.... YEAH RIGHT...LOL

^^^^Caught up??What's that??My husband and I want to go to. Didn't get to make this last trip.

I know the feeling... I'm self-employed and right now have no help, so I'm burnin the candle at both ends.

We've missed alot of good rides this year, some due to finance, some due to lack of time cause of work, and some because it was just plain ole too darn hot to enjoy yourself.

The 100+ degree heat here along with the exceedingly dry weather pattern has rendered most of our places to ride miserable to say the least, and with the burn bans in effect in most of the state not being able to have a campfire to sit around and tell lies makes it even worse.

We have a big trip planned (the wife and I) for Thanksgiving... hopefully that will pan out and it'll be COLD!!!!!

Ride Safe,

Chuck

we have a house up on the lake (watts bar, tennessee river) so coal creek is only 30 minutes from my lake house. its great riding but the towns around there are very small with rinky dink hotels. so dont be looking forward to any nice ammenities in the hotel department. if anybody needs any more info about the place or the area shoot me an email and i will tell you all i can and get any info you need! if anybody is heading up there let me know i will meet you there and go ride!!

There is a very nice hotel about 15 minutes from the place. Double Tree hotel in Oak Ridge. We went up for the Spring Jam and that place is AWESOME. The mud bog was a joke, as were the competitions. But as far as a place to ride, nothing even comes close. Just a note, do not bring mud tires. That place has so many rocks and hills, but very little in mud. It is a different environment totally. Some of the trails I wouldn't even attempt to walk. There are some bad places for sure. The helicopter took people off the mountain everyday. BRING A HELMET. But go, it is a blast.

your right about double tree, i forgot about that being there! but other than that i wouldnt want to really try many of the other hotels!

Yeah we stayed at the Motel 6 the first night and it sucked!

Thanks for listing this and thanks to MT for digging up the good info for me to copy and paste into the Tennessee State listings.

I could not imagine a better place to ride in the world. It is huge, great views, and cheap. You could ride for weeks and not see everything.

Sounds like my kind of place.

the town is actually Oliver Springs. I live real close by there
