Planning on going this spring or early summer and wanted to know if there are any places to avoid or make a point to go see? Where is a good place to stay?

Check out there website, www.trailsheaven.com there are all kinds of lodging info there.
Anywhere you decide to ride you can't go wrong. Some of the best around IMO.
Grab yourself a map and start on the green trails, see how you like em then go for some of the blue ones.
Rockhouse probably has the most variety as far tame to extreme goes. Waterways and Castle Rock are tamer.
Don't worry about hauling extra gas or anything cause you can ride into town on your quads and get some. Very ATV friendly towns as long as you behave.
Just make sure that your stuff is in tip top shape cause it will test your limits and you don't want to spend your time wrenching in the parking lot.
Make sure to bring your camera with you and post up some pics when you get back. Enjoy..............

Me and a buddy went down there last year, we stayed at the Super 8 in Logan, prices were very cheap. You could ride from the hotel parking lot to one trailhead..I think its Bearwallow. Or load the bikes up and drive about 20 mins to Man to hit the rockhouse trail system.

I've been to the website I was looking for Info from people that have been there about trails and places to stay that are better/worse than others.

Thanks

You camping or looking to stay in a motel ?

What kind of riding you looking to do , mild or extreme ?

I've only ever been to rockhouse trail system, but it was a blast. Like wildbrain said before, it had a good mix of easy cruising trails as well as some rough terrain.

I had a helmet cam on for most of the trip, and uploaded some of the videos to my youtube channel, that's really how your going to get the best idea of what to expect.

There is a group of us who want to go down so we will try to camp or get a cabin. I would like a little challenge but I don't want to ride dirt roads or on a bunch of rocks all day. Just trying to get a good idea of better trails or areas than others and if there are is a good place to stay

It's the GoPro Wide, it really is a great little camera for the price. I was able to find mine on ebay for around $130 new. Split it with a riding buddy, and its an extremely manageable price

sweet man thanks, how do they attach to the helmet?!

It comes with everything shown in this picture, I primarily use the suction cup mount. I was a little worried at first but it has been through a lot, including 75 mph on the sunroof on my car.

Hey, Was wondering do they have decibel level regulations, Spark arrestors, Width restrictions, etc. Would hate to get there and have a major expense on my hands.
Thanks.

[morse250r]

as far as i know spark arrestors are needed no noise rating
