New Park In Ky!!!

[Deranged89]

Not Sure If Any Of Yall Are Aware Of This Yet, But Theres A New Park Opening Up In Kentucky. Its Called 491 Off Road. Located About 10 Miles Off The Crittenden Exit (exit 166 On 75 South). Havent Had The Chance To Check It Out Yet, But If Talked To A Few Guys Thats Been Over There And They Say Whats Built So Far Is Great. Its Not Far From Where I Grew Up, So I Can Say The Terrain Is Alot Like That Of Big Rock. Hills, Rocks, Creeks, And Mud. Directions Are Pretty Simple: Get Off Crittenden Exit And Turn (left Coming From The North And Right If Coming From The South), Go To Us-25 And Make A Right Heading South, Follow Through Town And Past County Park, Turn Left Onto Us-491 (cross Railroad Tracks And Go Past Lloyds Wildlife Managment), From There Its About 7 Miles On The Left. Youll Travel Into Pendelton County And When You Make That Sharp Left Next To The John Deere Dealer Its Not Much Farther. For More Info Let Me Know Or Give Them A Call (859) 640-3911

That seems to be pretty close to Cincy. I wouldn't mind trying it out for a change of view. DO they have a site online?

[Deranged89]

ya its close to cincy! i live here in crittenden and i can make it to the river in about 30 minutes. they aint got a website yet that im aware of. they started opening a few months ago and so far its mainly been locals wheelin it. if i ever get my damn clutch line straightend out ill head over there and check it out.

hows the trails rate mostly easy or mostly red trails for highly built rigs?

[Deranged89]

not sure yet, the owner is still in the process of makeing trails and hes also from what i hear letting people make trails too. the land layout has alot of hills in the area, along with creeks and fields. its the kinda layout where you could make it as hard or easy as you want. oh and a word of advise for those thinking of goin when its muddy, the soil (ha soil ya right lol) has alot or is pretty well all clay, so hope your tires clean really well. ive turned tsl's into slicks in this **** before.

[muddinredneck513]

i heard they closed cause of insureance but are goin to open back up in feb?

[Deranged89]

not sure on that, but i can find out tomarrow. ive heard he has had some trouble with that, but last i heard he got it straightend out.

[67fastback]

yeah keep us up to date on what going on witht his place.... get soem pics too to post up of the place and the trails.

I wouldnt be surprised if it gets shut down quickly. Seems like thats pretty common in KY.


ANd the pics with all the people in the creek....thats not going to last long. Tree huggers see that and they'll flip.

they might say something about that, but really the creeks near there usually dont hold alot (if any) water majority of the year. plus add into consideration this is pendelton county, not a place tree huggers wanna go runnin their mouths. only problems i can see them having would be insurance issues. but if he gets it worked out i think itll last. public wheelin places here are far a few. next closest ones i can think of are slade, haspin, and bigrock.

harlan is 3 hours

[Deranged89]

harlan is 3 hours

thats it?? i thought i was farther than that :confused: havent been there yet. might make a run down there this year. but still thats 3 hours that could be spent on a local trail alot more often. not to mention price of gas to get there :eek:

Its worth it.:D

[RuffedUpXJ]

Also Big Rock is closed to Trucks and 4x4's

[4RunnerAdam]

Slade is already closing certain trails, bigrock just closed their 4x4 section, so that leaves Haspin as the only public wheeling place less than 3 hours away.

[Deranged89]

and last time i was at haspin was in 2003 when i layed my truck on its side while heading there. never really was impressed with that place.

[Deranged89]

Talked To A Buddy Of Mine Tonight That Knows A Good Number Of People That Are Already Wheelin Over At 491. Says He Aint Heard Of Any Types Of Trouble With Insurance Or Opening. Says They Been Open For A Lil While Now. I Talked To One Of His Buddies About A Month Ago And He Says He's Been Going Nearly Every Weekend. Said To Have Some Pretty Intense Hill Climbs When Muddy. He Has A 78 Bronco With A 460 Pushing Over 500 Horse And Built For Mud, Said Some Of The Hills Have Givin His Rig A Fit.
