Trail Information - Also, See Featured Videos

The information about the trails listed above was developed by TRhea GPS Services. ©2003 TRhea GPS Services. This information is subject to change and most certainly has changed since developed in 2003. For the most part, the trails are forever changing. Trails are groomed from time to time, environmental groups have an impact, companies that lease the land for manufacturing minerals have an impact and in general, enthusiasts, like us, are always reshaping the trails.

The important thing to remember is to tread lightly, be thankful and respectful to the Coal Creek OHV Park for providing the land to ride upon and sensitive to the environment in which we all must live.
