Durhamtown Plantation Sportsman Resort, Union Point Georgia,

Camping fee plus a full day pass for the resort $25 for male rider, $20 for female rider or half day pass starting at 2pm $20 male and $15 female
The resort is designed for motocross dirt bikes.  There are trails, and separate tracks, a beginner course, hill climbing and a speedway and a race track it even has starting lights.  The trails are mapped, well marked and groomed and most are one-way trail. Majority of the trails are road like, built for dirt bikes. There was one 1 1/2 mile trail meant for atvs. One third of the trails were closed for hunting season and logging. The east trails run thru some nice forest, but that may change after the logging.  The west trails had been logged.

Nov 10,  20 miles   The trails are not adventures, but built with humps and bumps and speed for the dirt bikes. Most of the trail is hard packed, but some are sugar sand and very dusty.  We did have an eight point buck run across the trail.

Nov 11,  18 miles   We headed for the east side trails, which run thru more forest, very nice.  We saw 6 does in the creek bottom. We rode on trail I, which was for experienced rider, but it was more like a normal atv trail. Then we had to ride half the previous days trails to get out to the trailhead, as all the trails are one way, only one exit!

  At the Lodge, is where you pay for camping and trail pass, there is a Bevelyn’s restaurant, with changing open hours, a rental machine office, a small store for parts and tires, several wash bays for your machine and a laundry.
  We did not enjoy the riding, as it is set up for motocross dirt bikes.  They advertise 150 miles of trails, but you have to run over them several times to ride them all. As for the 8,000 acres, we probably rode on 400 acres.

Mine Made Paradise Adventure ATV, Lebrun, Ky

We rode 38 miles.

       Mine Made Paradise is an old coal mine mountain top, restored back to grass, roads and forest. We camped at the Mine Made Paradise campground off of county road 1098.(right at the trail head) You will find w/e sites.  The elk usually come into the field  near the campground, but while we were there,  they didn't come to visit.

Mine Made Paradise

      Kentucky has the same type of trail system as in West Virginia.  The first part of the trail is road riding until you get to the forest.   The trails are marked well, but some of the roads,  are not marked, so they are confused with the ones your looking for. No beavers, but a dam!

    There are water holes to go thru, but the bottom is hard, therefore it isn't so muddy.   There are numerous creeks and overlooks/ There are about 70 miles of trails, 3 different difficulties.              

We enjoyed crossing the creeks and the views.  We tried the black-difficult trails, and had to turn around twice, on the trail #86 had a bad wash out right at a shelf.  The other trail #83 had a steep hill with a severe wash out in it.  We did come down #87, and had to come down a 2ft shelf, we held down the back end of the ATV, so it didn't tip up.

  We enjoyed the trail in the creek, trail #86.  The blue trails are fun, not easy, but enjoyable. We didn't meet anyother riders, but it was Thursday. We came to one intersection and the ground was littered with acorns!  It was a great day of riding, sunshine, fall foliage, and one deer.

      Today, Sunday, most of the campers left the Ashland resort to head home. It was pretty quiet. Throughout the whole day we only saw 12 riders.  We took the shortcut toward town, on County Road 17, 7 miles and turned on trail #20,  This is the Pinnacle Creek Connector. (You may ride the Indian Ridge trail to this Trail head, but this way cuts off an hour)
  

This is the rockiest trail we've rode on out of the three trails in this area, less mud, climbing trails and quite diverse.  After the first few miles, we came to a corner, "No Trails" sign, and there was an older cemetery, but a recent burial as of March 2014.   Cemetery GPS#  37*31,206N  081*26,487W
   We came across an abandoned block cinder building, in the middle of nowhere, we haven't done research on what this was used for
  We drove through a pasture, fenced on both sides, there were some interesting fence post!
We drove along Pinnacle Creed for 6 miles, it is 20 ft across, one spot there was a beaver dam across the creek, on trail #10. We even saw two grouse along the creek. We had lunch at the confluence of Pinnacle and another creek, trail #26 and #20. This area is white sandstone and higher ground which made it rockier and less muddy.
  We came across the "Eight Hole", a long, 2 1/2 ft deep hole, hard bottom, in the trail, We were in 4 wheel drive and had out feet on the seat. Many of the RZR's had the water come in on the floorboard.
  We rode around a beautiful bluff on trail #25, it was so pretty with the foliage and light colored sandstone. The valleys were outstanding! We did come across some unusual animals in the forest.
