There are several primitive camp sites on Craig Creek Rd that are right on the creek. It's a nice place and it's first come first serve. http://goo.gl/maps/EOchd
ABadJeeper said:What do you mean by more interesting than you want. Like trails you might have to use 4wd or what. I'm interested.
Last time I went, few creek crossings, not bad, couple of steep spots that I saw a gentleman flip his truck on. Rough ruts at one point in time, but it's been a couple of years. Pisgah has more than any 18 miles of gravel road, he's speaking of the primary travel route.
I remembered another old thread where Ivestor Gap was mentioned. It is only open from mid-August till Jan 2nd though.

Yep!
Ivestor Gap Trail begins as a roadbed which is open to motor vehicles from mid-August until January 2; however, it is highly recommended that only high-clearance, 4-wheel-drive vehicles attempt to negotiate it, as the trail surface is rocky and rough for the first two miles.
Maple Sally road, aka the dirt dragon. Watch out for dual sporters please. There are a lot of fantastic fs roads off of 181 and down toward the Wilson creek area. I was dual sporting on one a year or so ago that looked like hadn't been travelled for a while and would have made a pretty nice beginner jeep trail. Sadly I don't remember the number. I was covering a lot of ground rather quickly that day.
Hmm. I actually didn't know it is 187. I just know where to turn to get to it. You can cover a lot of ground on a dual sport up there and it almost feels like you're breaking the law. Kinda like I did as a kid riding dirt bikes on the roads in wv. Good times.That is also called FS187 that I posted above with map and pictures. I can see it called the dirt dragon. I was going pretty slow (5-20mph), did run into one group of bikers on the road when I was there. Lots of blind curves.

Quit giving away my secrets! My parents have a camper north of Collettsville off highway 90, and I keep having this vision of spending a couple days up there riding dual sports on all the gravel roads and crashing in the camper every night.Maple Sally road, aka the dirt dragon.

Sorry Matt LOL. I don't think it's that big of a secret anymore. A few days of riding up there would be awesome. I always hate leaving after 1 day.Quit giving away my secrets!

You can spend 2 days on the routes I've posted in the Colletesville area
