If you're looking for a great day of ATVing with your friends, you can't go wrong with a visit to Moates Knob. While it is a short run as far as most ATV trails go, this 3.5 miles long trail will offer up a great day of ATVing with you and your favorite group of riding buddies.
The Moates Knob ATV trail is a multi-use trail and you will encounter both three and four-wheel ATV's and motorcycles. These trails are very easy rated and are a fantastic place for newer ATVers to learn how to follow trail markers and control their ATVs on the paths.
The paths are almost completely flat with very little in the way of sharp turns or any hills or grades to climb. Newer ATVers can develop good maneuvering skills on these trails and truly get to enjoy the ride while building up their confidence in their handling skills of their ATVs.
Since these are areas managed by the National Forest service, certain rules apply in order to ride your ATV in these areas. Certain areas of the ground here are always covered by shallow water and can be considered a wetland. No matter how inviting it might be to take your ATV off the trail and go mud bogging, resist the urge as you might be given a future reminder in the form of a hefty fine.
Riding your ATV through muddy areas wrecks the terrain and it takes years and years for the vegetation to return to its original state. That is why ATV trails are so carefully mapped out for specific trail areas so periodically the ATV trails that are being used will be closed and then new areas will be opened for ATV use to keep the cycle of the forest reclaiming itself and new ATV trails to ride going perpetually.
Moates Knob ATV trail has a lot of ATVing fun in their 3 short miles for you and your friends, bring your ATVs and come riding soon!
