Tellico OHV(Murphy, NC) closed permanently

[ExploringNC]

Not sure if anyone posted any updates but just found out they have completly closed all trails at Tellico. Looks like they plan to reopen in 2yrs but I would be surprised if they do. Some enviromental groups are trying to keep it permanently closed. We should have gone last year when we started planning a trip then it died out, figures.

awsome trails will surely be missed. My first time 4wheeling in a early 90's cherokee was there during a jamboree. Buddys dad rolled his jeep 4 times down a hill and ended up turning it into a drop top. Also not much at all on the east coast as for ORV parks. Paragon closed and the NJ guys are still trying to open a park but that has not gotten anywhere in years. Rousch creek is still open but other than that nothing can compair to tellico in size or trail offerings.

What a loss. I am fortunate to have been able to visit it as many times as I did. Tellico will be missed.
