UWHARRIE NATIONAL FOREST

ABOUT
Zuwharrie is held in the heart of North Carolina just minutes from downtown Troy. The park features 8 trails that will challenge any level of driver and vehicle. The trail system ranges from easy to difficult and features a wide variety of terrain. The majority of the trails are made of up red clay soil and is spattered with various outcroppings of exposed rocks and boulders. There are also a good number of hill climbs and enough mud sloshed about to keep you on your toes. Some of the highlights of the park are Kodak Rock (a famous picture spot), Dickey Bell (the longest and most widely varied trail at 3 miles total) and Daniel (which takes honors as the hardest trail with its intense switchbacks and steep hill climbs). The trail system offers something for everyone and every experience level. One thing to note, however, once it rains in the park...the trails can get nasty quick...and some of the easiest trails quickly become rather nasty. If it rains, please ask a staff member which trail group you should ride with, they’ll be happy to help.

The Official Zuwharrie campground and Event Headquarters is located at the Badin Lake Group Camp in the Uwharrie National Forest. The cost of camping there is included in your registration fees. We have reserved sites A, B, and C for the entire weekend. We have also reserved site B for anyone who would like to come in on Thursday. Anyone arriving Thursday is requested to stay within the bounds of site B. There are 4 shower rooms complete with hot water.
