Love the Uwharrie National Forest. Great OHV off-road trails. Some OHV trails are difficult, some easy. There’s trails you can go on that’s not OHV off-road trails. Many places to pull off to have a cook out or panic. Friendly people around if you get into a jam on the OHV trials. Places for camping without going to a campground. Many places to hike, and explore taking pictures. This vast wilderness is worth visiting. Boulders that you can stretch your vehicle on.

Great people who comes to these trails, and forest. Dog friendly.

5 Stars for scenery. 5 stars for photographers. 5 stars for Ohv trails.5 stars for camping. 5 stars for views.

My cat loves going off roading at

Uwharrie National Forest. He uses the Jeep as his jungle gym when parked.

Fantastic National Forest full of every kind of trail. Hiking, biking, equestrian, motorcross, ATV, UTV and four wheeler. Permits are cheap. There are great camp sites with and without electricity. There is a nice restroom with showers. You can camp along the trail if you want. It's really just the best of everything if you want to hit a trail.

This forest is absolutely gorgeous. There are many different trails for hiking, atv’s, horses, bikes, etc. There are shooting ranges, camp grounds, cabins, kayaking, and all

other types of outdoorsy activities. However, do NOT put your gps to the park itself because it will take you down a random road and cut off. Instead, set your gps to a trail or to the lake and go from there.

Beautiful woods and trails. There were so many guard rails everywhere on the trails that detracted from the beauty, but I get the reason. I wish people would stay on the designated trails and tread lightly. And don’t litter! Lake Badin was beautiful at sunset.
