Default Question about local chattanooga offroading places...

I was going to check out Lewis Chapel up on Flat Top, but I have no idea where it is exactly once you get up there. Anyone help me out?

I know the exit for Lewis Chapel is off HWY 111 just before dropping off the mountain into Dunlap. From there I don't know where trails are. Try doing a google maps search. Some times you can see trails from the air. When you do find them contact me and I'll check them out with you.

The 2 main entrances are closed due to dumba## destroying a cematary and getting on peoples farms but I know another way but would have to show you. It's off Poe Road. Might want to check out Big Fork, prob going up there next weekend if I find some axle seals.

If you know the area there is a church on Poe Rd and you can go in behind it. The entrance on Grant Road is gated now and I've been told the entrance on the other side of Lewis Chapel on Harvey Road is gated as well.

The Harvey rd entrance is gated. I went by the church on Poe road. You turn by it and go down that road for a bit and theres a dirt pulloff not far down that road

I'll prob be up there with a buddy and his Scout, if I get mine back together but I think we are riding Swift Creek which is on the other side of Poe Rd and goes all the way to Waldon if you got a whole lot of time. This will be a test run for both of us. Drove by there today on the way home and saw two XJs by the shooting range, one looked like it don't see any trails and the other was hard to see but had a big stinger bumper and did look like a trail rig.

I would like to go but my tranny has been acting up the last two trail rides. Have to wait for income tax return then once it's fixed I will be joining you.
