I found this on nc4x4 and thought it would be more belonging here. if it's garbage, let me know and I'll delete it. great park so I wanted to share
I have been reading this on NAXJA. Looks like Golden Mountain is on the radar for possible closure. Nothing we can really do as this is private property but maybe a heads up incase it is on your bucket list....
"The other location is Golden Mountain in Sparta. As I understand it, the park was just purchased by a family that owns the adjoining farm, as an investment property. The family has no interest in running it as an off-road park, nor do they have much interest in upkeep of the facilities. SFWDA does do Dixie Run at Golden Mountain each September, and that event is generally what gets Golden our of the red. The indication is that Golden Mountain will cease to exist as an OHV location within the next 12-24 months."
"GMP is not closed - yet. The indication is that in 12-24 months it very well could be, without intervention, due to the owners lack of interest in running it as an off-road park. The guy that works the farm next door (owned by the same family) "keeps his eye on it" but is more of a caretaker than anything. SFWDA is in conversation with the land owners, and is still going to be doing their Dixie Run at GMP in September."
This is just word being passed along so anything can change of course
