It would be great to have a cruiser event at Paragon Park. It is much different from Tellico. The trails for rock climbing are generally dry (unless its raining) and require a strategic approach rather than pedal to the metal. Some of the hardcore trails require an EMT to be present -- if you aren't prepared, the hardcore is not the place to be. Their are also numerous other trails for the novice to intermediate. I've been there with my wheeling club and will definitely be going back when the right crowd wants to play.

Let me know......I'll come play! I haven't been there yet, but I've heard lots of good stuff about it.......

Hey, Chevota01,
You are in Connecticut?
Have you ever heard of the YankeeToys, or the Gotham City Land Cruisers?

YT is mostly out of Boston, and GCLC are mostly out of NYC/New Jersey........

They get together a couple times a year and have runs in NH, Mass, and GCLC sponsors an event called "The Coal Mine Cruiser Classic" and guess where its held?
You got it!......PARAGON!!

Well, here, check out the links for yourseslf.....

Some of us in Ohio were thinking of heading there after we found out some more info.....

typically our rigs are 35" tires, locked, and lowered geared FJ40's

for reference...we like to try everything in Tellico..the operative word is "try" but thats about what we enjoy doing.

The big question is.....how many day(s) of solid trail riding is there at Paragon for these level of trails?

We have plenty of big mud holes in Ohio so that does not really interest us.

In addition, what is the camping like? facilities? food?

I appreciate any input.

Paragon is approx. 15000 acres of rocks and roads.
The trails range from stock to lifted, locked, and min. of 38's.

look for the link to the MAP
trails like M-trail and undertaker could take one day in it self depending on how many vehicles you have.
Rattler 1 and 2 combined could take the day also.

So there is plenty of wheelin for about 3-4 days for the extreme wheeler.

Camping is not allowed on site yet but they are trying to make it available.
Red Ridge campground is the best and closest (15min) with snacks and hot showers and toilets.

Red Ridge Lake Campground
Dept. FW11, 61 Millers Road, Zion, PA
Family Campground: swimming, fishing, gameroom, store, general restroom with showers, planned activies in July and August.
Really Great People to
deal with especially
when planning a 4-wheel
event.
Phone: 570-384-4760

looks good

thanx

Lets not leave out pipebender or pebbles and bam bam :D
At the ramsey challange the rock crawling segment was held at "pebbles" and guys broke just getting to the start area!

The best way on a friday to sunday run is undetaker friday and pebbles next and on sunday run M or pipebender or both if your fast and don't break as they are close together ,or M backwards is a neat change.
As for the 38's, yea I run them but we have got a sami on 32's through everything but pebbles and he only broke one birf .

Nice Job explaining paragon and the campsite Bluetoy :beer:
If anybody comes out here let us know and we try to join you.
