When I 1200 Poplar Springs Road into Google maps nothing comes up. Can someone who knows where this place is at highlight the road(s) to take from Tracy City to the of-road area?

Thanks in advance.

You want to use "1200 Popular Springs Road". Not Poplar.

any particular way I should not go ? I am coming from the Florida Panhandle and my GPS has a tendency to get me in some screwed up areas. I am pulling a 50ft enclosed trailer so turning around can be a bit of a challenge when I go the wrong way.

Re:

Easiest way is to go ahead and use the interstate to get to the top of Monteagle mountain. Then follow 41 to Tracy city. GPS should get you there from Tracy City. 41 up from Jasper is a 2lane crooked road.

If this is the first time wheeling in the South, you will be ready to move after wheeling that area. This is almost in my back yard. If I didn't have National Guard this weekend I would be there. I might dropped in and see everyone for a few minutes Friday afternoon.

Does anyone know if there is a "Saturday Only Rate" for this ride ? Like at Dixie Run

tdugger411 · Oct 14, 2015

does anyone know if there is cell phone service in camping area?(specifically att) may need to login to work on friday....

....

Pumpkin · Oct 14, 2015

Re:

Cell service is few and far between out there. They pump sunshine into the end of that road. There is a reason only a few people live out there. It is because they like their privacy.

The rate is the same all weekend as far as I know I asked the same question for some local folks and was told it's $40 a person no matter if your just riding one day or 3 days .

dwa2469 · Oct 15, 2015

$80.00 for the wife and I all weekend is a bargain, but for one day its kinda steep. May have to miss this one, wish we had more time.

Yesterday the pics on FB were flowing in. Today... not so much, so I bet the mobile reception is non-existent. I bet they're having a blast by this time of night!

It was a good time. Friday we road RZRs down the creekbed for miles and back. Saturday was Difficult because there was a ton of people and no one knew the trails so we just kind of drove around until we found a good hill then everyone would hit the hill. Then we would move on to another.
The place has a ton of potential. Reminds me of riding at Mt. Fork in New Market growing up. They have a straight formula offroad bounty hill that bobby and wes couldn't even make it to the bottom of despite some full throttle attempts to get there. I have a few videos Ill get loaded and posted ASAP.
