Big Rock OffRoad, Maysville Ky: Grand Reopening!

i was there on a quad one time and didn't see to many trails that would challenge a decent built rig. What is the potential like as i was only there a couple times.

Nope, not yet. This is a brand new development.

When I was there with my jeep guys, we were a little disappointed how smal it was: We spent all day climbing in and out of one valley/creekbed.

The terrain was cool, the hillclimbs were steep, some rocky, some muddy, but we had no idea how big it was.

Like I said, two THOUSAND acres, nearly triple the size of Haspin.

Should be great!

Potential is good. I've been there a couple times with my old Rubicon and it was a lot of fun. I haven't taken the YJ there, but with 2000 acres, I'm sure people can find some good stuff to do. There were a couple decent hill climbs and there's a pretty cool creek bed that we played in. I do know that I enjoyed it much more than Haspin.

On a side note, I really hope this place doesn't become like Haspin. Nothing against Haspin at all, I enjoy going over there, but Big Rock is a lot cleaner and the attitudes of the patrons seem to be a lot better.

Big Rock will NOT become another Haspin

Couldn't agree more.

We have pretty much worked out what the rules and regulations are going to be in order to allow Full Size 4x4's back into Big Rock! Don't all you quad and bike people freakout, this isn't going to turn into another Haspin. There are plans for Mudbog events, tough truck courses and hill climb events. Fun for all to watch!

For starters, I figure the "no-booze" rule will help discourage some of "that element."

Tough TRUCKS.... AWESOME, I just happen to have a tought ruck racer sittin here that I run at alot of the county fairs.

I went down twice before, we were mildly built at the time, and found some pretty good stuff. Havent taken a quad down but I may and scope it out on the quad to see what else si on that 2000 acres first.

I think the no Alcohol rule will help keep things calm, but the only restriction I have heard of was no sandrails or 2wd bugs and that s supposed to be a park rule. The park will only become like Haspin if the people that ride there allow it to become like Haspin.

was there for the first opening. had potential. had the big tire pit, logs, ect. but after 8 months, it was as if the park went backwards. i know they owed crazy keith almost $5k for the dozing work he did.

I would love to visit it again with some real wheelers promoting it. post up some pics if you go there. i was eyballing some rocky creeks there a few years back.

alchohol can ruin a good park quickly.

Not to toot horns but I am friends with Duke (the owner) and he let me organize "club rides" at the park in 2009 for the MuddyBuddy's club. His big issue 2 years past when he opened to the public (for full size rigs) was drinking and irresponible wheelers (like we've all seen alot of over Haspin way). Duke was speaking of organized rides for groups that are responsible. I have ridden all 2,000 acres and there is no camparison they have all terrain you could want. Would be a great place for Club rides, and is a couple miles from town.

I went up a wicked hill climb there that would destroy most any built rig's roll cage if something went wrong. The telephone poles in the pit were a blast as well! Tire climbing was ok. I will hit this place this year a few times for sure. Watch the speed limits on AA highway!
