Great News!
I am from Hanceville and I rode the trails on Stouts Mountain years ago, and I had a great time. I am glad to see this ride area open up.
Did you hear/read about a county OHV park in Dodge City?
Can't wait to go home and ride this place.

I rode there on the 4th. My friend and I had a great time. The name of the place is "Wilborn Extreme Outdoors ATV Trails". They are very near the old "Chigger Ridge" trails and the same powerlines come through this property of 4,000 acres. The trails that were marked "Extreme" were very steep but nicely graded. All the trails we rode were in pretty good shape. We rode several creek bottom trails to cool off. It was very hot and dusty Tuesday, but I bet it's nice when the trails are damp or a little muddy. We went through the tunnels under the interstate. That was cool. We rode the powerlines and that was great also. Yes, some trails are 10-18' wide and are very smooth, and some are 4 x 4 ATX trails only! I say there are trails for everyone to enjoy riding. I know we did.
They also had a mister system set up for people who were "hot" to just ride right up and get "misted". They sold soft drinks, sandwiches and sunglasses. Admission was $15.00 per head. Not bad.
We rode from 9:00 AM until 2:00 PM before we had to leave. Trails are only open from May 1st through October, then he turns it over to his (15) turkey hunters who pay $1500 apiece ($22,500.00) to hunt there during hunting season, without him having to be there. So getting this place to be a year-round ATV trail system open to the public is going to take some doing.
I believe that these trails could be some of the best around. I went to Coal Creek (Windrock), Tenn this past February and the Stouts Mountain Trails are just as good, but without the long drive to eastern Tennessee.
Just my 2 cents!

Do they offer any camping facilities there? Got a friend that lives just outside Cullman, and need to get him on a quad. I know he'd be hooked after that.

Hello.
We rode the Cullman ATV Park Trails Saturday. There are several cool trails to ride and beat the heat. However, most were open road type riding. The trails that were cooler were very nice. Some trails took you into valleys that had 20 to 30 rock cliffs on both sides of you. Very nice.
They really need rain there. It was very dusty.
The people were very nice. They stayed there all day at the camp area, where you pay and park. If you were to get lost, they provided cell phone numbers for rescue. They also provided a map of the trails. However, it was difficult to read.
Not many people were riding Saturday. I guess it was too hot for them.
There camp area is nothing fancy, but overall, the area has nice views and for 15 dollars, it will be worth your time. I might suggest you wait for rain or cooler weather.

Hello,
Any news on the ATV Park near Dodge City. I heard they may get a grant from the state to develop it.
Posted by: 4x4BigBear
I haven't been there either. I read a news article from the Cullman Times about a group of people applying for a state grant to construct / improve the ride area. I heard it is an old logging area. I was just wondering if any progress has been made.
I have been hearing alot about the area near Warrior, AL. I see a lot of trails from the interstate. Is it public land? If so, where is a good place to park our trucks?

Rode there this weekend for the first time. Awesome place to ride. Beware of the "Extreme Area" they did name this place appropriately. Was talking to the land owner before I left, they are planning on adding another 100 miles or so of trails by next year. He said they will re-open in February if weather permits.

No website. This is their first year doing it.
