It is open Friday that I was told by one of the persons who runs it. You can ride to 9pm at night but hey won't have anyone checking to see if anyone is on the trails after 9pm. The county judge exc. made up that rule.
But the Gate got took out today by a jeep liberty running from the police they made up trail 10 to Buds bypass and made it up it a few hundred yards before they ditched it and ran on foot. They caught one woman after chasing her and someone else through the mountains for an hour. I had to go and retrieve the jeep with my 4x4 wrecker for the police. I have some pics on my cell phone don't know how to post them off of it.
 
This sounds like it could totally happen in Harlan
 
The park has been busy all weekend with utvs . I was called this morning to recover a 1000 Polaris razr the went 75 foot over the mountain on trail 34. They endoed it about 3 times before it came to a stop they were turning around because a tree was blocking the trail and drove through some weeds the thought it was flat and went over the mountain. Lucky nobody got hurt and the people they came here with gave them a ride out of the mountains and left to go home back north told him to recover it by his self they couldn't help him. Good to have friends like that ain't it.. I took 2 razrs 2 jeeps and a trailer to haul it out he broke off the front wheels. We got the trailer about 1.5 miles from the razr so we had to get the razr to the trailer to haul it. It took us about 1 hour to get it back up the mountain oh the trail we worked on the front taking some stuff off and put a log under it and tied it to the razr for a skid so we could drive it out with the help of the jeeps to the trailer. The trail is very bad dur to all the rain we turned it on it side 2 more times getting it to the trailer. I took us 6 hours to recover itand put it on his trailer so he could go home. Lucky he has insurance on it was totaled the body and frames is severely damaged.
So if you all come here to ride be careful on the trails they haven't got to maintain the trails for the last several weeks due to the coronavirus the govern shut down the parks here. There were a lot of utv's here this weekend having fun nobody got hurt that I know of. Going to be a busy summer...….
