Does anyone know when or if broad river is going to open back up?

I don't know but I pray that it does. It was certainly the best ATV park that I have ever been to.

I've been to durhamtown and moto mountain and I wasn't pleased with either one...I've heard alot of good things about broad river hopefully ill get a chance to ride it (if they open back up)

I was also unhappy with Durhamtown and will not be returning. Everything was waaaayyyy to easy. An employee there told me they gear the park to be family friendly. Meaning they want their trails to be easy enough for 5 year old's on go carts to be able to handle. The federal parks in N GA are a better bang for your buck in my opinion.

Broad River on the other hand was really nice with plenty of mud/water and challenges on every trail. I only wish I had gone more when it was open.

I have not yet tried Moto Mountain. What was it like there?

Yeah durhamtown was to flat and simple I will not go back either..moto mountain is simple and confusing, there's no trail map and you have 2 main trails with lil trails off each nothing is clearly marked so one trail is easy a hell and the next is very steep and rutted ou or you will come to a trail that isn't even complete half way down.and you gotta turn and go back on a one way trail....it has a couple really nice views but we rode for a couple hours and went on just about every trail before we got bored and drove 2hrs home...will not visit moto mountain again...nothing down here seems to even come close to the trails we ride in Tennehere (brimstone, coal creek, royal blue, picket state park, chitwood mountain)...im beginning to think I should stop wasting my time and money trying to find a good place to ride here and just do weekend trips in Tennessee

The wife found a place online in eastern alabama (doc hilt trails) and it looks like a fun place we might try it next or highland park in nw Ga...

I have not tried highland park yet but since my 500 has a Supertrap exhaust I'm not sure I will be allowed in. They seem to have a lot of rules there.

Have you tried any of the federal parks like Houston Valley or Whissenhunt?

If you go to Brimstone or Windrock in TN you will find it hard to ever ride a crappy trail in GA again.

We are going to try and do a full week this fall. 2days Brimstone, 2days Windrock and the 5th for a beat up sore travel home.
