Slade KY, Natural Bridge... etc.. this weekend, need help
« on: March 03, 2006, 04:26:52 AM »
I have never been, but would like to go tomorrow (Saturday March 4th)


Can anyone help me out with where to go? Where to park my trailer? Things to see, trails to stay away from.. etc...

I searched the internet and can't seem to find any answers.. but I did hear it was a good place to go wheeling???

Well, from what I can see, the National Forest Service has closed the forest to jeeps and such..

Does  ANYONE know where I can go wheeling?!?!?!


Getting kinda tired of Haspin acres...

Anywhere within  150 miles of Cincy??


I guess I might have to go to Attica!

They have not closed the Natural Bridge area, they are legal roads.

   I've been wanting to ride at Slade for a couple of years now but it doesn't look like I'll be able to make it this weekend.  You might check some of the Ky Offroad clubs' websites as they frequent Slade.  I believe I saw a post on the Kamikaze Mudder site from someone looking for someone to ride their this weekend.  Here's some links:

      There are some guys on this board who ride at Haspin often so they might can recommend other places to ride as well:

Don't forget to take pics, whereever you go!

    Well, change of plans.  Hubby asked me tonight about 9pm if I wanted to ride at Livingston tomorrow!!! ;D ;D ;D  Wish I'd known sooner, to let you know, Quaddawg.  Its south of Lexington, just off I75 so wouldn't be much farther than Slade for you.  I'll PM you our cell phone number in case you get this message in time to make it down.  Give us a call, assuming we'll have service there.  We probably won't be there til after 8am, as its about a 2 hour drive for us.  Bringing my Kick and his Samurai.  Hope to see ya!!

Quaddawg,
Do a little research in the areas surrounding Natural Bridge State Park. A few of the Camp Parks (Not associated with the gov.) started cutting their own trails in the areas surrounding the park when they heard about the proposal to close the trails. It has been a few years since I have been there, but we stayed in a Camp Park about 3-4 miles south of the parks entrance and did all the wheeling we could stand on private property   ;D  Try  internet searching to find some #'s to call.

Another good and scenic ride is Big South Fork. It only has a few challanging areas but it is worth the trip. The South Loop Trail is hours of beautiful scenery

Cool ZP... Thanks!
I will check that out!



KYMike, I am in Ohio, on the river.. Sayler Park west of Downtown Cincy by about 14 miles.

I have talked to Roy and Jeff (I think it was Jeff) at POR... as a matter of fact, they sold my my BDS suspension lift..

Nice guys.. they know their stuff on Jeeps.. that's for sure.  They invited me down to their offroad park.. I need to call them..  The park is still fighting  beaurocratic BS, and isn't open.. but you can still go if you are a private invited guest, and I guess they do that quite a bit.

I would definately like to check them out soon.


I would LOVE to get with a club in my area, one that wheels every weekend...  I know not everyone can wheel EVERY weekend.. but if there was a ride planned every weekend, at least there would be something going on when folks got a chance to get out..

   We're going back to Livingston again this weekend cause it was just too much fun last week, not to do again!  We'll have a couple of Samis, my Kick and maybe a Rubicon with us.  If you make it down to that neck of the woods, keep an eye out for us, Jeff.  We'll be there Saturday and Sunday both.

I don't think I will have the Kick together by this weekend.  The CV/axle  isn't in yet (lol, got two passengers, and a spare driver side coming....) and I have the 5.62's to go in too..

PLUS it's rainy, and I don't have the garage available this week.


BOO HOO, I am going to have to pass on a ride this weekend...  first weekend missed in 4...
