Fains Ford??? - Pirate4x4.Com : 4x4 and Off-Road Forum

TJDale · 09-18-2007, 10:34 AM

I'm heading up to Tellico this weekend. I've heard that the water crossing at Fains Ford is closed untill the bridge is built. Can anyone tell me more about this? So to get to Slick Rock one would have to go arround on #6.

X2 We're going Sept 28. This would be great to know.

It was open on Labor day weekend, but I don't know if it has been closed since. The ledge there has been blocked off with some rocks placed about 4' apart on the top. Some people had been going to the left and up the ledge, illegally I guess. I can't foresee themclosing it just a couple of weeks before Dixie.

You need to watch who you listen to. NOTHING is closed right now.

Yeah, Fain's is open, it just has the ledge blocked off

Yeah we were up on 9/29 and it was all open, crossed the Ford twice

It was open for the Dixie Run, looks like they graveled it in a way. Trail is a nice drive in a stock CJ7.

Has the ledge on the left always been "illegal"? Or is that a recent change?
