Coal Creek OHV info

[nickhuts]

We have been going down to coal creek for about 8 years now every october. We always end up getting lost and take the dusty ass gravel roads back.

BUT this year I am going to take charge and kinda try and plan some destinations .

I have heard there is a WWII radio base and air field, multiple old coal mines, a dam/resivour, ...

If anyone has been there and know any good trail loops or a spot on a trail that has a good view or something cool to see let me know. Our trip is October 7th-9th.

THANKS!

bye the way we are on four wheelers

i went a couple weeks ago and rode 16 the full length quite the scenery on the other side of the gravel road. 18 was pretty nice. the waterfall is very cool if it has rained recently. the windmills is a bust and takes to damn long to get there.

One of my favorite places to wheel. Trail 16 is a lot of fun and the waterfall. Trail 3 has a couple of the closed up 100 year old coal mines and coal dump. Trail 15 and little mule are a ton of fun if you like to play on rocks and a short course. Also passes by the base of Rattle Rock. Maybe my most favorite trail is 39 though. A bit tough but I did do it on 33" a couple of times. Tons of fun even on 35" with what use to be a he'll of a winch climb out at the end. Was down there last month and they did cut in a bypass on the end. Download the map from the net to your GPS as well. Buy a new map as my map from last year is out of date and we learned they cut in some new trails off of 35.

We have a pretty big group going down. A lot of older guys. I go to hang with my pops so anyone with a fourwheeler that wants to follow us down there and get lost is welcome. We dont ride fast (old men lol)
Pack a lunch for Saturday.
We will ride a half day friday after we arrive, all day saturday, and maybe half day sunday but who knows.

Its fun and we run about 50-80 miles a day. just depends on if someone breaks or whatever.

Things to bring off the top of my head

-Lunch
-tire plugs
-extra gallon of gas (comes in handy!)
-i think its like $30 to ride there for the weekend
-your ATV...DUH!
-helmet
-maybe a selection of tools. Between all of us we usually have a good selection of stuff to fix or rig stuff together like JB weld or zip ties
-goggles

Sorry this post seems a little cluttered and crazy. I am just typing whatever comes to my head.
