some pics/videos of last weekend at hawkpride

[256offroad]

Hawk Pride OHV has got to be the best park within 3 hours of me (2hours total from huntsville). its around 1300 acres. with TONS of rocks and miles of trails for any jeep with 33s or bigger, with at least one locker and some minimal armor. the park has PLENTY of spots for campers, tents and what not. they are in the process of building bath houses.

heres a link to there site http://www.hawkpridemountainoffroad.com/

i recomend if you live in alabama or middle tenn check this place out!

tnorvforum.com hosted a ride there last week. i rode all weekend and camped out with quite a few rigs.

on Saturday there was easily 100+ buggys etc there with the awesome weather we had. most of the day for me was spent driving around just trying to find good trails and watch a few guys.

sunday was spent wheeling. we rode one trail that was about half a mile long full of rocks, trees, and awesome scenery.

here are some pics.... not alot of me as i was mostly wheeling. but theres alot of the trails and scenery


the line saturday morning!

Nope, it's just not you.

I need to look this park up and see how far of a drive it would be. It looks like a fun place to go.

yeah.... we watched them for two trails then went on and explored.

theres really no way you can crawl some of those obstacles. they re stacked the pile and now its more doable.

i just like seeing the craftsmanship and the motor.

this place is VERY xj friendly.

like i said. front locker. 33s or bigger and some sliders and you would have a blast for a weekend.

its acually like 5 min west from muscle shoals.

What about a rear locker?

yeah..... its got alot of trials alot like what witc has. but TONS more

the soil there is a sandy/dirt mix so your tires dig.

if its at all rained the previous days of going. i wouldnt even take my jeep.


rumor has it that the land owner sprayed the trees to rid them to plant pines so he could log it. but someone came in and said that the soil isnt good for logging. so he leased it out to a guy that runs the offroad park.

from what i hear. its pretty hot there in the summer. i.e. lack of shade.
