Brown Mountain this Weekend?

hey guys, hoping I can find some info in here. search came up empty. I have some buddies heading there this weekend in their Jeeps and I thought I might tag along in my TRD Sport 4wd. the only info I can find about the place is old and it says we can only use 2 trails there? can anyone help me with any trail maps? are the trails easy/hard? my truck is stock and I have never "wheeled" before at all. my buddies have but I am new.

Not open till March 29..hear you shouldn’t have a problem stock. Really only one trail open to highway vehicles. Have to stop and grab a pass at one of the stores. There are some fire roads near there though that aren’t any problem at all!!

 

thank you for the info. I don't know where they got that they would be open this weekend? I have watched several videos of the place and it looks mild for sure. there is one spot that would make me a lil nervous but I watched a stock 4th Gen 4 Runner get thru it ok so I assume I would be ok too? I would be down for some fire roads and that type of thing for sure though. I just like driving my Taco and enjoying the outdoors.

 

From 181 go past the OHV to Wilson Creek and hang a left. Go beside the river till you can make a left and it runs back to 181. There are several dirt roads all around the area. Seen a few with some private property signs in the Mortimer area, but at least some dirt back there..

There was a nice little dirt road, Curtis Creek Campground, I went up. Few good views and follows a Creek with some small falls along the way.It comes out on the parkway near Mt. Mitchell..

I actually have the weekend of the 29th off surprisingly. Hope to camp somewhere. Uwharrie opens that weekend also and meeting some friends on the 6th out there..

 

thanks again! I know we are going to Uwharrie opening weekend. I am not taking my truck but gonna be riding with a buddy in his Jeep. since I have never been I want to get a "lay of the land" before I even attempt anything there.

 

LoL..several trails no problem stock! Just stay off the D’s..

Usually several people on Sunday morning, meet at the outpost. Can ride along also..
Hope to see you out sometime!

 

Did Dutch John and back of Daniel stock (well, with good tires)...no problems. Wouldn't want to do them w/o a rear locker at the minimum though.
