Its a place that they use to mine clay out of the ground to use in drilling oil wells its in the foot hills of the mountains and people have been riding there for the last 15 years at least theres trails going every where and crystal clear ponds every where people go scooba diving in them . Theres this section were one of the ponds is at that you climb the ponds levie its a big hill climb there are 23 different ways to go up we spend most of our time there, or there is this trail we ride thats like a cross country course its about 2or3 miles long in a big circle we see who can get the best time on it for fun.

What is it like when it is wet? I am about 4 hours away but it does not sound like there is enough ridding there to justify the trip. I have been to Mena and several places around there, along with a few visits to St. Joe and Chadwick MO.

I was told they closed Wolf Pen last year due to all the trees that fell over the trails. Is that true?

Holly Springs National Forest in North Mississippi this weekend and Land Between The Lakes in Kentucky next weekend.

what is it like at holly spings ? and did you get your wives swing arm fixed

Bspring
01-11-2002, 07:58 AM
Holly Springs is all dirt, no rock in sight. The trails are for the most part tighter than the ones you took us on. The hills are rolling; nothing that would cause anyone a problem so speed is usually the challenge. There are no open spaces – all woods some mud, and some off camber. It is not near as fun or challenging as Land Between The Lakes but it is free.

The swing arm is fixed. We will see if it will hold this weekend. If not I will get her an aftermarket one.

Let me know if you want to come. If you can only do one next week would be my pick.

how far is land between the lakes from you? I think i will go over to broken bow ok. tomorow there is supose to be a trail system over there and it's only about 90 miles from here.
How far do you think it would be from here to land between the lakes i am 45 miles south of malvern.

350 Miles and 6 hours from Little Rock according to MSN’s map page. It is a 3.5 to 4 hour drive for me. Pro GNC racer Joe Byrd invited me to bring any of my friends by his house on the way. He may even get to go with us but I would say that was a 30% chance. I am off that Monday so we will probably stay an extra day. There are Hotels close by or you can camp. So far we have about 15 riders of various skill levels lined up for this trip. It would be a good one to make.

hey redrider, do you know if there is a website with info on that new area in hot springs? i live in the Dallas area, but my in-laws are in DeQueen, so hot springs would be easy for me to get to.

also, do you know for sure if wolf pen gap is going to be open? i've heard a lot of good things about this place and was wanting to go there this year.

thanks.
