FAQs
Is TN better than KY or WV for OHV?
Different — TN has more concentrated private-park infrastructure (Brimstone, Windrock); WV has Hatfield-McCoy; KY mixes both. TN trails are widely-considered some of the best in the East.
Are guided rides offered?
Yes at most TN OHV parks — guided + bareboat both available.
What about Coal Creek?
Smaller private park — more advanced terrain. Best for experienced riders.
