Windrock OHV Area - Home of "Rattle Rock"

Description
Located near Oliver Springs, TN, Windrock has been several years in development to become one of the premier off-road areas in the East. Owned by Coal Creek Mining & Manufacturing Company, Windrock has been made available for our sport though the hard work of the Atomic City 4WD Club and Windrock ATV Club.

Like Tellico, Windrock offers something for everyone. Easy trails to the infamous "Rattle Rock" that makes Lower #2 at Tellico look like a trip to the mall. Sloppy mud holes, insanely steep hill climbs (Atomic Ridge Trail) and massive ruts will offer challenge to all vehicles.

Rating
Easy to nearly impossible. The map below offers more information on the rating of each trail.
