Zuwharrie is an off-road event for Suzuki Vehicles held twice a year, once in the Spring and once in the Fall. Zuwharrie is held at the Badin Lake OHV Area in the Uwharrie National Forest, NC. It started out as just a bunch of friends getting together to trailride, but over time it's become much more. Zuwharrie has quickly become the East Coast's largest Suzuki gathering. We've averaged more than 100 Suzukis at each event in 2005. We plan orginized trailrides for all day Saturday and Sunday morning. There will be a Dinner and Raffle Saturday night. We usually give away over $1000 in prizes donated by various Suzuki vendors!

The Uwharrie National Forest is beautiful during the Spring and the Fall. Temperatures will be generally mild days and cool nights. Trails at Uwharrie are considered easy to moderate. There are several challenging areas for even the most modified. If your expecting trails like at Tellico, then you will be disappointed. If you go to Uwharrie to enjoy the scenery and ride a few challenging trails then you will love Uwharrie as much as we do. Stock to slightly modified Suzukis do great at Uwharrie and can ride just about every trail (there are bypasses around the most difficult sections). Everything described above is if the weather is Dry (which Uwharrie usually is). If it rains... well then everything changes. Easy trails can become the the hardest trails because of the amount of clay and mud. If you have any questions about Zuwharrie, please email or post on our BBS.

There is a $5 per day trail fee that is your own responsibility to pay. This fee is charged by the state for upkeep of the park and trails and must be paid in order to ride the trails! Pay stations are no longer located at the Parking/Unloading areas like before. You must now purchase your trail pass at either the ranger station or one of the several local gas stations such as the El Dorado Oupost.
