Beginner off road spots around Knoxville?

[HotChicken]

Howdy. Passing through Eastern Tennessee and looking for an interesting but beginner spot to off-road my Big Bend. Everything is factory and I don’t wanna get in a mess or knock up the two-week old BS. Most interested in doing a half day or day trip to the Smokies. Any suggestions? (Been looking at Windford but that seems like a bit of doing...)

One of my Jeep buddies recommended Nemo for starters. Nice, interesting, and pretty mild.
I've ridden it on a dirtbike.

Thanks! Definitely gonna use that website in the future. Just finished up Schoolhouse Road an hour ago and made it about 2/3 up the mountain before it felt too dicey for the 7” clearance. Good times. Had my little guy spot a few times and he confirmed I was on three wheels once. Pretty happy with the performance for an as-is vehicle.

Great! Looks like you and the boys are having a good time. You're in my area, you might try Windrock or Royal Blue also. Enjoy the area, and nice rig!
