Sunday June 26 - Wed 29th.  My buddy and I are bringing up two underpriveleged teens to Durhamtown to ride for and camp for a couple of days.

Anyone else planning to go up those days?

We're staying at the Wolfs Den Cabin.

If anyone who has been to Durhamtown in the past has any suggestions or heads up, please let me know.

I was just up in May with my friend Tim, I don't know what trails they have closed off to quads, but we never had any problem with closed trails-if they're closed they're probably too tight of trails to fit 4 wheelers thru.  There is over 100 mi. worth of trails-3mx tracks and one pee wee mx track-you won't be bored.  We had a great time.  There's a good article in July issue of Dirtwheels about Durhamtown-you should check it out-I think it has a map.  The directions off www.durhamtown.com are better than mapquest-even though both are confusing-especially at 3a and in the dark.

There are some pics posted of our trip to Durhamtown in photo gallery under durhamtown pic.  The trails were the sh#t-lots of jumps, real fast-one way trails is the best/only way-no worries.  Have fun and post some pics when y'all get back!!

Yeah, what jaxraptor said!!  In the lodge there is also ping pong and pool table.  At the lodge they usually have a big fire with music-or just go to sleep.  If you ride right thru the day, your night will be spent sleeping!!

Just got back from a week at Durhamtown.. WOW!! We had a blast...

From the drag strip..to the trails..to the 4 mx tracks..it was EXCELLENT..

We had a bit of rain and that made for some nasty "red-clay" conditions, but riding those trails in the woods were awesome..

All the trails are one-way..and that eliminates having to look around for "crazy riders" running into you..

Met some really fun people and my son had a great time too.. The cabins are a bit small, but had hot showers and air-conditioning...That's all you need...

One recommendation for Durhamtown..get some washers and dryers so guests can do some laundry...

My only complaint...the drive is SOOOO LOONG....

We need a place in S. Florida  like this...

Just got back from DP, tonight. The place was excellent, except for the fact that the trails are only open from 9am to 5pm. They do have a night ride on Fri-Sat nites, though. If you go with your family or another couple and book one of their "cabins", get the Motel 8 or the Green Acres(The others are way too small for my liking). They manicure the 140 miles of trails. The kids and sport bikers will love the MX tracks. There are motels about 20 miles away, too. The Jamison Inn(town of Ocoee) is nice. It's about a 10 hour drive from Fart Lauderdale, so you'll spend two days traveling. They serve no food M-F, but, lots of places to eat about 20 miles spouth in Ocoee.

Glad you had fun.  If you call in advance and they have a large group there during the week you can expect Breakfast and Dinner but the play Lunch by ear.  Also depending on how many people are there Hollywood will do nighht rides during the week if enought people want to go.  The problem with the night ride is you have to have both front AND back lights and no loud exhaust so i wasnt able to go.  Also for those mx fans i think the MX tracks stay open about an hour longer than the trails.  Also TVman you have a point a laundrymat there would be nice the drive to the one in town wasnt that bad but having one on site would have been nice.

Can't ride on the streets.  Where the trails are located there really is no need to.  You'll have to cross the street to get to some of the trails. The night ride, however, they may go down the street to get to some of the trails your not allowed on during the day.  Prices to ride do include all mx track access!  Also, take advantage of their pressure washer-that GA clay is tough to get off without some extra water pressure.

All of them!!  But mainly just don't skip the trail that runs behind the lodge-sometimes this trail is closed to atv's-not too sure why.  It's a small loop but really fast w/a lot of jumps and good wide open conditions!!

As long as ya'll are going that far,  I suggest going on up to Broad River for  a day or so.  It's a new place and is getting better all the time.  They already have better than sixty miles of trails  and lots, lots, lots of mud.  Got bypass trails around the mud as well.   They don't have mx tracks yet,  but the food is great.  They are only open on weekends and holidays right now.  They cook out if there are enough people there.  The only time I've been when they didn't cook,  they ordered out pizza.  They've got new cabins that sleep six for $75/night.  Best of all,  they love quads.  That's why they opened,  and they'll treat you great!  If anyone tries them out  let me know how you liked it.  I think before long they'll be the best place to ride a four wheeler in GA.  Once they get the mx tracks that is.
