Orv | Busted Knuckle Films

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.

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.

BOAT RAMP VIDEO!

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. We had a hard time following the big buggies around due to the loose steep climbs. After a few hours of riding around we had gotten the park figured out so we could easily drive around and see all the best obstacles. There was even an f-250 superduty that was basically stock roaming around on the main roads.

We started off the day bye hitting Hells Revenge which is a dry creek bed that runs down one side of the property. It had a lot of steep loose climbs that went up the far side of the creek bed. There was also a nasty stacked ledge at the end that gave the rigs a good fight. No worries though, the ones that couldn’t make it up just took the bypass. We found that most of the more difficult trails had a bypass so everyone could see the main obstacle without having to back down or turn around.

Our favorite and the most well known trail of Choccolocco Mountain ORV is “BOAT RAMP”. This obstacle gets its name because it is a rock slab that has water running across it year round. If you have ever tried to walk up a boat ramp at the lake then you will quickly see how it got its name. Kyle even tried it on his Suzuki Z400 and quickly got bucked off the back. A guy in a honda powered buggy on stickies made Boat Ramp look like a driveway but a few of the other rigs had to make multiple full throttle attempts to conquer this beast. Two of the rigs slid back down and punctured a tire on the sharp edges of the step down into the obstacle and had to make repairs. We had a good scare when lightning struck just 30 feet from where we were filming. The owners claim that most people come into the park and immediately want to go try “Boat ramp”. He tries to convince them to try a few more trails first, but sure enough they come limping back 30 minutes later with a half broken rig.

All in all the trip was great. It was almost unbearably hot, but atleast there were creek beds and water everywhere you turned to cool off a bit in between obstacles. Bottom line is you have got to put this place on your list of off road parks to check out in Alabama. Check back for a detailed review of the park. For now enjoy some of the trip videos.
