I have been in negotiations with a land owner and a partner to open an off-road park. We have finalized the deal and are now ready to start preparing the property to open. It is the old Golden Mountain Raceway and Park along with around 400 acres of the surrounding hills and hollers.
Some of you local to the area may remember the park from when it was open several years back. Everything is still there and most of it is still in good shape. We have several pavilions...one with restrooms, concessions and a huge field-stone fireplace...a full playground for the kids, basketball court, two volley ball courts, horseshoes, put-put golf (needs a little work),two lakes, a baseball field, bumper boat area, go cart track, the dirt track arena, a motor cross track, camp ground with grills at each site, and probably a few more things that I can't remember. Some of this will be available when we open and some may be available at a later date.
The trails will be stock/easy, more difficult, most difficult, all the way up up to bring your lunch and plenty of spare parts and then the soon to be famous bounty hill (so far...bounty hill 3/drivers 0) There are several easy trails and we have cut a few for almost any challenge level already.
Over the next few months we will be marking and clearing trails in preparation of opening the gates to the public. Anyone that would like to help is more than welcome and any help is appreciated. Nick Cooper and Ryan Brogden came up and checked out some of the park facilities and helped us finish out a trail today (thanks guys)
The way we have worked it so far is we meet at the park, do some riding, check out the facilities, cut a trail and then ride it. I will be marking and clearing some trails through the week and on the week-ends if the club or anyone wants to get involved. We hope to turn this into something everyone can enjoy and have fun with from the stock rides to the custom buggies to the wives and kids that a full day of trail riding might not be their thing.
Feel free to make any suggestions and ask any questions or give me a call at (931)808-4661 Thanks, Jimmy
