I am looking for a nice, legal, safe,yet challenging place to take my school's off road club for a weekend outing of trail manners and off road technique. We are in Myrtle Beach, and would like to find something within a few hours drive. Uwharri is a possibility, but it is 5 hrs away. Anybody know of anything closer? | ||

Greg, I've been looking all over the place in SC for trails. They are few and far between in this state. I know of a place a little bit closer in NC to you. I think Paul Morgan has been there but I haven't. I am on the other side of the state so I am mainly looking over here for stuff. But if I do stumble upon anything I'll let it be known. Max T. | ||

Thanks. We usually hit the old Air Force Base. There are lots of trails there. Still don't know if it is legal or not, but it is a pretty popular place. I just don't want to lead a bunch of my students there if it is not "tehcnically" legal. SE North Carolina would be close, too, if anyone knows of a place. | ||

Greg, Here is the place I was talking about: http://www.cnc4x4.org/trails/croatan_tr.htm I pulled it from here: http://www.cnc4x4.org/trails_n_maps.asp Thats all I got right now. I know of a few little places on Western NC that are good for a little drive but those are still very far from where you are. I'll keep my eyes open. Max T. | ||

Max, The Croatan is a mosquito infested swamp where the locals like to sling mud at one another.
Greg, There is a moto track in Sanford that dealers like to take the soccer moms to. Besides all the beaches (ft. fisher), I can't think of anything other than Uwharrie or Tellico. | ||

IF you want to see pics of the Croatan mud go to http://www.capefearrovers.com/ There is Boiling Springs lakes which can be fun, but not a real challenge. The water crossings tend to be fun but after 50 of them they get old also. It is a good place for newbies. |
