Stones River Jeep Club enjoying time with friends and family at their Annual Club Picnic

   Looks like a great time on the lake with the SRJC folks. They all celebrated their time together. SFWDA contributed some door prizes, and one lucky person even won a Dixie Run 31 Pass.

 Check out SRJC in Middle Tennessee if your interested, the logo above links to their club page.

* UPDATE ALERT * Spring Meet & Ride
will be Postponed until April 2, 2016

  Due to uncontrollable weather related circumstances our upcoming Meet & Ride at Turkey Bay OHV Area, near the shores of beautiful Kentucky Lake has been postponed. Forest service reports indicate the soil in the area has become too saturated. In effort to prevent excessive erosion the park will be temporarily closed.  The back up plan already in place is to reschedule until Saturday, April 2, 2016. Same place, time, and same agenda otherwise. 

 This will remain our first SFWDA Meet & Ride of 2016. The Stones River Jeep Club, Murfreesboro, TN will host this event and provide guided Trail rides throughout the park.

Coming to Turkey Bay?  Consider an Overnight Stay!
 You could pitch a tent at Turkey Bay in the camping area.  In addition to the trails, Turkey Bay OHV permits camping at designated areas near the lake along road 167.  An added perk of the campsites is the ability to wake up and ride directly to the trails, as the sites offer chemical toilets, unloading ramps, and drinking water. But if you need some additional amenities, consider from a variety of lodging options located just outside Land Between The Lakes and a few minutes from Turkey Bay. https://www.explorekentuckylake.com/lbl/ohv.htm


We will be collecting supplies for the community to be distributed through this local organization.
