Upper Tellico OHV Area, NC/TN
Where it is: Near the North Carolina / Tennessee state line
The Wheeling Experience: The Upper Tellico OHV Area is located in the Nantahala National Forest and supports an extensive trail system for off-road vehicles. The trails are strewn with rocks and boulders with some trees to dodge thrown in. The wooded area is very scenic and includes some hilly terrain as well.
Points of Interest: Interesting trail obstacles include Gaurdrail, Helicopter Pad, and Lower 2 trail. Each is a climb with its own unique challenges. You'll get some off-camber, some rock ledges, and some muddy boulder crawling.
What You Need: Most any mildly modified 4WD can have fun on the Tellico trails. Beefier rigs can step it up on the harder trails and when it's rainy and wet all the trail ratings seems to creep up a notch over their dry day ratings. You'll also find several creek and water crossings in the area as well.
Contact info: Private campgrounds and lodging are available near the OHV area.There is a $5 entrance fee and Tellico may be closed during winter months. More info can be found at:
