Have Jeep Will Travel… Offroading At Land Between The Lakes With Videos & Trip Reports

Jim and I have been to Land Between the Lakes a few times for offroading in our Jeep Wrangler Unlimited. Turkey Bay ORV Area is the Land Between The Lakes’ designated area for off-highway vehicles.

If you’re thinking of going to Turkey Bay soon, here are some of the best links, directions, maps and videos to help guide your offroad trip.

What It’s Like
In case you’re wondering, it’s a pretty tame area to ride offroad… in a Jeep.

Turkey Bay ORV Area tends to be more popular with ATVers than Jeepers.

Nevertheless, it’s a great place to try out a new Jeep, or try offroading for the very first time.

There are 2,500 acres to explore with water that’s easily accessible, and campsites galore.

Here are some videos featuring Jeeps & other offroad vehicles having fun at the Turkey Bay ORV Area…

For What It’s Worth…
Jim and I actually prefer to go offroading outside of the Turkey Bay ORV park area, rather than inside it.

So we usually put our Forest Service map to good use and we explore the forest roads around Land Between The Lakes instead.

TIP: Any state park ranger’s office will sell you a map of the forest areas and “forest service roads”. These roads make great off-road trails for those wishing to enjoy some fairly tame offroading. Just remember, there are few (if any) ammenities in these backcountry parts, so make sure you’ve got a full tank, plenty of water, a cellphone, and some extra supplies — just in case.

I like to help people find unique ways to do things in order to save time & money -- so I frequently write about "outside the box" ideas that most wouldn't think of. As a lifelong dog owner, I often share my best tips for living with and training dogs. I worked in Higher Ed several years until switching gears to pursue things I was more passionate about. I've worked at a vet, in a photo lab, and at a zoo -- to name a few. I enjoy the outdoors via bicycle, motorcycle, Jeep, or RV. You can always find me at the corner of Good News & Fun Times as publisher of The Fun Times Guide (32 fun websites).
