Hey guys,

Im Burns a mod over from ExplorerForum.com and we are gearing up to be over in your neck of the woods soon. We are planning on being at Uwharrie for some good wheeling, meeting, eating, and just plain old fun on July 1st through the 3rd.

We would love to meet up with some guys from the area and do some wheeling.

Here is the info from out thread on EF:

The dates have been set. We are set to go for a run at the Uwharrie National Park on July 1 - 3 .


I will be adding hotel links and other info you may want to know about over the next few days. What I need everyone to do is to say going, possibly, or not going. I will update the list as follows.




Info on Uwharrie NP:

Total length: 16 miles
Open Season: April 1st to December 15th
Fees: $7.00 per-day per vehicle and OHV or a season pass for $45 per person.

DANIEL TRAIL Length 2.0 miles
DICKEY BELL TRAIL Length 2.7 miles
DUTCH JOHN TRAIL Length 2.1 miles
FALLS DAM TRAIL Length 3.3 miles
WOLF DEN TRAIL Length 0.9 mile
SAWMILL TRAIL Length 1.2 miles
ROCKY MOUNT LOOP Length 2.8 miles
SLABPILE TRAIL Length 1.0 mile

NARRATIVE:
The off-highway vehicle trail system in the Uwharrie offers a variety of topography and scenery. All trails are designated for all off-highway vehicles, except for a small portion of the Dickey Bell Trail located west of SR 6584 which is suitable only for use by ATV’s or motorcycles. Stay on the trail system to help prevent soil erosion and creek sedimentation, which occur as a result of illegal trail use. FS roads can be used as trail connectors, but all vehicles operating on the road system must be "street legal" meaning that the vehicles are fully licensed, inspected and registered. Persons violating these regulations will be fined according to the law. Helmets are required on the OHV trail system (Guys this is for atv & ect). The trail system is subject to a seasonal closure during the winter months in order to prevent unacceptable soil erosion and stream sedimentation.



Where can you stay:

Sorry but these links are dead. Im not sure where or why they have been moved. Cant find it in a google search. See the recreation.gov site for camping info.

Arrowhead Campground: Group is staying here
Badin Lake Campground
Badin Group Camp
West Morris Mountain Campground
Yates Place

The Group will most likely stay Arrowhead Campground as a whole. You dont have to stay there but most of us will be. Try to get a spot soon so you will have one because they will go fast with it being a public park. Here is the link where you can check out what is left to get.
