Gorgeous trail, we had so much fun. We ran it all the way down to the pioneer homes, and crossed a few bridges. There were some good fishing holes too. Easy to run with a stock setup.

Very hard to fine camping due to the time of year I am guessing. No camp site left. We did fine a couple spots in a campground. I will not plan on this route for camping again.

Nice trail, it was dry, so not very challenging, but a great first trail for my first time at Windrock running alone. I'd recommend doing this first.

A rough blue-level trail. Some good views, but at over 8 miles long it got to be a slog after a while. I think a 2 is a bit underrated; I think a 3 would be more accurate. A good connector trail but n...

Crutcher Hollow
Bumpus Mills, Tennessee
Lined with hardwoods and intermingling between open prairie, Crutcher Hollow connects the main road, Woodlands Trace, to Neville Bay Road. It is a mix of gravel and rough dirt. There is one washout where a seasonal stream or rain runoff takes place that would prevent low-clearance vehicles from driving this road. No pre-disturbed camping opportunities were spotted.

Wallace Cemetery Road
Hamlin, Tennessee
Wallace Cemetery is aptly named as it terminates at the Wallace Cemetery. It is a gravel road lined with healthy hardwoods and travels along the ridge top of hills to its end. It connects to the more adventurous Byrd Hughes Road 391A. Camping can be found on either of the Byrd Hughes Roads

Windrock G37
Oliver Springs, Tennessee
G37 connects several other trails, which would be its main purpose as it offers very little in views and excitement.

Dry Fork Bay
Hamlin, Tennessee
An easy short out-and-back gravel road leads to Kentucky Lake's shore. A flat parking area at the end would be a good spot for boondocking in an RV.
Updated: 10/15/2024
Tinker Branch
Austral, Tennessee
Tinker Branch is a short out-and-back trail that spurs off of Spring Creek. The road is a bit rougher than Spring Creek but suitable for any vehicle. It quickly ends at private property and can only provide a short side excursion if you drive Spring Creek. No camping.

Hamlin, Tennessee
Land Between the Lakes is a 40-mile long peninsula that offers hiking trails, horse trails, 300 miles of undeveloped shoreline, mountain biking, 400+ miles of scenic roads, and 1400 campsites, including camping within Turkey Bay OHV park.
