Mild to moderate rigs can have a lot of fun down there if you know where to go. The trails are composed of several "unmaintained" township roads scattered around the area. For the roads around Tar Hollow State Park (you don't run on any actual state land) there is a parking lot off a gravel road you can park in and you drive on paved roads for a short distance, than jump on one of these "trails" that may be a mile or so long, then run down more paved roads to the next "trail", and so on. These trails/roads are on a normal county road map, but it doesn't tell you which ones are paved, gravel, or actually resemble an off-road trail. The main reason I mention the above is that this type of trailride is completely different than what the CORE club typically does.....this is not an off-road park by any means and you don't go run a few obstacles and then run back to the parking lot and eat lunch. You also need to be careful where you go because it can be hard to tell which "trail" is a legal township road to be on and which one is an illegal offshoot running on private property. I will also say that the big tire buggy crowd would be completely bored.
My other club will be hosting their annual fall novice ride around Tar Hollow on August 10. Always a good time for the milder rigs and anybody that just wants to get out in the woods for the day. This would be a good opportunity for people to check the area out. They just ask for people to pre-register....pretty informal event but they just like having an estimate of how many people will be there.
