Off Road Park Review – Choccolocco ORV

Posted by: Matt | Comments (0)
Wednesday, August 11th, 2010

Choccolocco Mountain Off Road Vehicle Park is located in Jacksonville, Alabama, just one mile from the town square. We recently had the chance to make it out to this park for the Thrills in the Hills Event. This place is just plain ridiculous. We took the sport quads so we could get around easy and film. After a few hours of riding around we had gotten the park figured out so we could easily drive around and see all of the best obstacles. There was even an f-250 superduty that was basically stock roaming around on the main roads.

There is plenty of room to camp in the large wooded campground. There are many primitive camping spaces with fire rings, a covered pavilion, water access, and portable toilets. If camping isnt your thing there are Restaurants, parts stores, propane, and hotels located within three to five minutes of the park.  Every type of off road vehicle; atv’s, side by sides, dirt bikes, four wheel drives, rail buggies, and rock crawlers are welcome. The park is 450 acres of mountains with over 200 trails and obstacles. The trails are rated 1-5, clearly marked, and wide enough for full size vehicles. The 1 & 2′s are easily accessible for atv’s and stock four wheel drives. The 4 & 5′s are extremely difficult, strictly for built rock crawling vehicles only. Over 100 of the trails are great for easy trail riding. There are also plenty of extreme obstacles to play on. All of the extreme trails are accessible through the easy trails.  The park owners state that Choccolocco Mountain is a place where friends and families can come to relax, have fun and enjoy the mountains, wildlife, and scenery & we could not agree more.

CHOCCOLOCCO ORV IS OPEN EVERY WEEKEND!

Saturday and Sunday
Daily Rate: $20 per driver $5 per passenger
Weekend Pass: $30 per driver $10 per passenger
Weekend Pass includes camping
Camping Only: $5 per person

If you are into the extreme side of things then you will definitely have fun with all of the challenging obstacles available at the park. Boat Ramp, the wall, and Hells Revenge are just a couple of the names of the best trails they have. Boat Ramp is a crowd favorite. The trail is exactly as it sounds; it is a huge rock slab on a hillside that has water running down it year round. This makes it slick as all get out. People crowd around this obstacle to watch everyone hammer down and try to make it to the top. It is one of those obstacles that is a must see. The best part is that even a mildly built Jeep can try it!

If you are in a milder built rig you can still have a great time at Choccolocco. You can drive right up to the hardest obstacles at the park and watch all the wild and crazy rigs try to throttle up. If spectating isn’t your thing there are plenty of milder trails to challenge your daily driver rockcrawler all weekend long. Bring your family and or your local club for the weekend.

We had a blast on our trip and cannot wait to take the Tacoma back there for a beat down. We gave the park 4.5 out of 5 knuckles for the great obstacles and nice camping area. If you are looking for a new place to wheel in Alabama then Choccolocco should definitely be on your list. Check the photos below for a park map.

The Great American Off Road Park – Auburn, AL

Posted by: Matt | Comments (5)
Monday, April 12th, 2010

Here in Auburn, AL we have been waiting a long time to have somewhere to wheel close to home. Are you tired of driving 2-4 hours to get to an offroad park? Well wait no longer because The Great American Park is here. The Park offers something for everyone. Bring your rockcrawler and come hit all the man made obstacles or bring your mud truck and let the mud fly in the mud riding area. They even allow side by sides and ATVs.

The Park is set on over 160 acres of rolling Auburn Hills. The owner has been working closely with our local off Road club AU Crawlers and has built some amazing obstacles. He calls his creation the “PowerCrawl 2010″. This area includes the Mariana Trench, the Balrog, and the Achilles Hill. He is working hard to give us rockcrawlers everything we are looking for in a totally man made off road park.

The Great American Park has just the thing for all of you mud slingers out there too. The “Field of Dreams” Mud Riding area includes the Hogwallow, the Boomerang, the Big Amazon, and the Montezuma. A mud riding area specifically created for stock trucks with tire size 35″ and under has  recently been added also. So whether you are romping through the mud in your stock Z71 or letting it eat in a fully built truck on 44s you will find an obstacle for you in this mud riding haven. The best part is if you get stuck someone is on hand to come pull you out at no extra charge.

Got a Dirt bike, ATV, or Side by Side? No problem, there are over 25 different ATV trails strewn across the park. You can splash through the mud and the muck on a 4×4 quad or rip up and down the trails on your dirt bike or sport quad. When you need a break you can kick back and watch all the action going on in the mud and rockcrawling areas.

The location of the park is perfect. It is only 5 minutes away from I-85 and 6 minutes away from the closest part store. At only 10-15 bucks for the day. I know where my next wheeling trip will be. The Great American Offroad Park. The park is open one Saturday a month right now, but plans have been made to make a camping area and soon they will be open for full weekends twice a month. For more information check out the Great American Park’s website or follow them on Facebook.

Check back for more pictures and video featuring this new and amazing park in Auburn, AL the home of Busted Knuckle Films. The park will also be featured in our next film as part of the Southern Shenanigans Series of off road dvds.

BKF wheels Hawks Pride Mountain Off Road Park

Posted by: Matt | Comments (1)
Thursday, March 4th, 2010


The Busted Knuckle Films Crew headed out to one of the newer offroad parks in Alabama. Hawks Pride Mountain Off Road Park located in Tuscumbia, AL has 1000 stunning acres with more than 30 trails to choose from. They have something for everyone. They even allow ATVs. It was freezing cold and snowing (good thing I have a heater in the Tacoma) but we braved the cold and put our rigs to the test on some of the toughest trails the park had to offer. The trails were all marked clearly and rated 1-5. The park was nice and slick from previous rain making trails usually rated a 3-4 almost impossible without some full throttle assaults. I think everyone in our group broke something. Good thing we caught it all on tape for your viewing pleasure. The park had a nice large open parking and camping area with restrooms. The fees for the park are $15 per driver and $10 per passenger which is well worth it for a great day of wheeling. Even though the park was super slick from rain, we cant wait to go back. If you live in or around North Alabama you have got to check this park out. If you see the BKF crew running around, make sure you do something crazy for the camera & you might even end up on our next Offroad DVD.
