15 - The Gatekeeper
Open
/
Oliver Springs, Tennessee/
0.18 miles/
About 30 minutes
Located in the heart of the 73,000 acre Windrock Park, this daunting double black diamond trail is not for the faint of heart... We try to put a waypoint at obstacles, but if we did that on this trail, the entire trail would be waypoints. With obstacle after obstacle, if you can make it through "The Gatekeeper", you should be ready to tackle the rest of Windrock Park.
Let us put it to you this way, the trail footage you see of "The Gatekeeper", if there wasn't a vehicle in it, it's because we walked it to try and show you what to prepare for... And we were definitely out of breath by the top... Get ready for a heart-pounding hard trail if you attempt this one. You're gonna need a spotter; but you CAN conquer the "Gate Keeper"... if you're prepared.

Located near the border of Kentucky and Tennessee in the Land Between the Lakes Recreation area, Tharpe Road is a primary access road connecting Woodland Trace Road to the western shoreline and forest roads. The trail cuts across the forest passing by a few old cemeteries along the way. The trail isn’t challenging but can be a nice way to get away from the high-speed traffic on the main roads.

Proudly wearing the distinction of being the most challenging Jeep Badge of Honor trail in Windrock Park, Windrock 16 is a continuous onslaught of varying obstacles that will test your driving abilities, your nerve, and your group's attrition. Deep off-camber trenches, big rocks, and slippery hill climbs await those with the courage to earn their badge.

Windrock G3
Windrock G3 is a 4.3-mile trail leading to the nastiest rock trails Windrock offers. This trail takes you past scenic rock walls below Wolf Ridge, splashing through the occasional mud puddle, and ends just before a creek crossing over Laurel Fork. The most challenging spot along G3 is a driver's side hole that leans the vehicle 12 degrees. Easily driven by any stock vehicle, the primary purpose of Windrock G3 is as an access road to the extreme trails 3, 39 (Cadillac Hill), 40 (Rail Trail), and 40A. While G3 is considered a straight-through trail, only highly modified vehicles will be able to continue onto Trail 3, and all others will need to treat it as an in-and-out. The trail's end offers a small area to turn around or park to watch larger rigs take on the extreme trails.

This trail is suitable for any stock high clearance vehicle.
