Big Rock Off Road, Maysville, KY

Have any of you guys ridden at Big Rock in Maysville, KY? I'm thinking of rolling over there one weekend for an overnighter since it's so close, but I'd like a little feedback from you guys. Is it worth a 2.5 hour drive? The don't have full camper hook ups, just electricity, which is ok. I'm more interested in the riding...how are the trails?

Thanks

Let us know how big the campground is, along with how good the trails are.

I'll give a full report once I get back!

Great, would like to hear personal report, our cabin is only 50 miles north, have wanted to ride for a yaer now

It's ok for a day trip if you LOVE rocky trails lots of hills....Its not my best place to ride and I live about 5 minutes away!

when you going

Hey Marty, I haven't planned a trip yet. I'm starting a new job next month, so I know I won't be able to get off work for the bigger 3-4 day trips, so I'm hunting for close (2hrs or so) overnight trip spots. I can't justify driving 4 hours to Coal Creek just for an overnight...too much driving for that.

There's also a place in Clay City (Mountain Pkwy offroad) that I'm going to look into.

I'll take you to slade before I'd go to MP
Or we could do Big Rock in a day

Big rock is ok for a day about 2000 acres camping is just in a field it is about 45 mins from my house.

Hey CMF, I have heard alot about Slade but have never been there. Next time you plan on going could you let me know. I would love to tag along.

will do

I would like to go along to Big Rock or Slade, KY as well.
Let me know when you plan on going.
We went to Lawrence County Recreation Park in Indiana last weekend. Its only 400 acres but has a nice campground. They charge $25/night to RV camp and $15/day to ride. They are widening the ATV trails there for side-by-sides. I rode most of the ATV trails Saturday and had to cut some small trees to get through in some places with my RSR-S. Most of the trails were not a problem. Trails are all Green. Weather was good Saturday. Poured down rain Saturday night. Rained Sunday AM as well. We were the only side-by-side there on Saturday.

I would like to tag along on a slade ride sometime

DoddS knows Slade really good too. I rode there once.....I want to go back. I would like to hear more about this Big Rock place. Rocks and big hills sounds like it could be interesting.

Should have said something.I would came by and say hi. It would have been nice to meet you.
Sorry not trying to

I went to Lawrenace a couple times on quads and it's to far for 400 acres Slade is a way better place

Myself, Dr Chop, Brandon B and DoddS rode Slade area this weekend. Done Walker's Creek, Creek Trail, Rattlesnake Hill, Carburetor Hill, Townsend Cave, Smith Cemetary trail and back down Lower Stair case and back to the trucks. No carnage (other than several center caps getting busted)and a great ride. Sorry no pics to share.

Did you guys go up or down carb hill

Up.

FYI, Big Rock just put in a zip line. It's supposed to be a blast. I did quite a bit of wheeling there in my Jeep and have taken the RZR down there once and had a good time as well.
