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 location for this event will be at the Uwharrie
Offroad Training Center directly across from the Eldorado
Outpost on Hwy 109.
