Elk Mountain Area

Has anyone on here rode the Elk Mountain area recently?  I'm not 100% clear if this is part of the forest or if it's OK to ride this area.  I was there years ago with no trouble - not sure if things have changed.

Not sure where you are meaning.  I am riding Bergoo this Saturday.

I'm talking about the area south of Elk Springs Resort on the east side of Elk River Rd.

I believe the majority of that is National Forest.  And from what I hear the folks at Elk Springs have been giving riders a hard time.  Trying to buy up and post land around there to keep riders out.  If you stay down closer to Bergoo you should be fine.  I personally wouldn't take my chances that far up stream.  Send Hump a message, he could elaborate more.

We rode with Hump last time we were down in March.  Great guy!  We did stick around the Bergoo area for the most part.  One day we rode up to Pickens for the Maple Syrup Festival.

Prayers for all the families in Bergoo and those with camps in the area.  Lots of devastation.
