Wildcat Road

Most of the trail is dirt and gravel that’s pretty easy. There’s a few off camber sections but I did it in a pretty stock 04 Chevy z71 with 33 bfg KM3s. The creek crossing was pretty deep probably close to 30 inches deep.

Fun day in Kentucky running chase crew for the terra trophy rally, the water crossing was pur favorite part!

Nice finisher ride after a scenic mother's day ride, the trail had a little mud but nothing major. It was a great way to finish the day.

From the river to the bypass is well maintained gravel road. From the bypass east is pretty decent trail, some fun small obstacles. Very little mud due to its been dry. We did the trail with no issues on 33’s and took the “hard” lines on the small obstacles.

River Crossing is Not able to be crossed this time of year

Great trail beginning from the eastern side. It starts as just a gravel road until you pass a small cemetery and then it has a few simple obstacles. I would really only rate this area a 3 other than some deeper mud holes that could be worse if it hadn’t been so dry in the area lately. Nothing overly technical, but a nice taste of everything. It is quite overgrown, so scratches will definitely happen if you bring a full size vehicle through it. After you come to the intersection of Rockcastle from east to west, the road turns to a very maintained gravel road up until the river crossing at the end. Right now, due to the lack of rain, the crossing is a little more than ankle deep.

When crossing the river, go downstream approximately 40 yards or so. As a local who has traversed the river many times, crossing straight across is significantly deeper, which is fine for some rigs, others may struggle with the deep water. Go down, then across to the other bank, then ride the edge up to the exit road on the other side. Years ago I learned this the hard way.

River crossing at start was doable at the time, albeit the last 10 ft or so it was bumper deep as we dropped into a hole just before exiting the river and heading up the trail. The trail did not disappoint and had a bit of everything especially if you are more of a newbie with a stock rig that you don’t want to damage but a little experience doesn’t hurt.

trail started as gravel but switched to rocks/mud not far in. a couple slick rock sections on inclines but nothing crazy. make sure to stop at the overlook for a few pics, awesome view. fairly big mud holes but nothing crazy deep and the deepest one is near the overlook. river was up after the rain a day prior so i did the entire trail in reverse. halfway through the trail you can exit to the camp wildcat civil war battlefield if you dont want to run the trail in reverse

The water crossing at Rockcastle river is flooded

The river was up so I took the bypass and got on by the battle memorial. it's a beautiful trail with some history.

Area temporarily closed due to the search for individual involved in the interstate shooting.
