Turkey Bay can be closed due to weather related issues. If the weather has been bad in the days leading up to the ride you should check this thread or call 270-924-2000 for updated trail closure information. The forest service will determine if the trail condition are bad enough for closure. Just because it's raining or has rained doesn't mean they will close the trails.

i really hope to make this ride. i promised myself i would make it to more places to go wheelin' this year. i've got about four or five places i want to ride at this year and turkey bay is one of them. might have to bring the tent. can't wait!

Turkey Bay is great place to ride and LBL is a Beautiful place to visit. It would be great to get some of you East TN guys on this ride. I know JKChad wants to do this ride and he's in Knoxville. I’m getting some local KY guys to be our guides for the day. One of them is even a Jeep Jamboree guide so this will be a great opportunity to check out the trails.

mapquest has me at 4.5hrs away(knoxville area). i'll get there friday night and leave sunday. looking like a great time.

I wouldn’t be surprised if we had several camping. Not sure what we’ll be doing but will probably be driving up early that morning. It’s still a little early in the season for my wife to camp.

Anyone else interested. If you live anywhere close you don't want to miss out, right now we have 12 Jeeps confirmed going and 8 maybes. We will be splitting up into two groups, light to moderate and moderate to heavy.

Anyone else going to this. We have about 40 jeeps signed up so far over on www.itsajeep.org I will be one of the trail guides for this event. Turkey Bay is a great location. Even if it rains the trails still aren't that bad. See everyone there.
