Any suggestions on where to to camping/riding near in/around TN that I can go weekend right after Thanksgiving? Only time of the year I can go, and those darned hunters want to mess up my riding! Lol! I have been told that weekend is when rifle season for deer hunters open and that I would be hard pressed to find ANYWHERE to go without interfering with hunters.
Thanks for any advice/suggestions! Happy Turkey day!

Try just about anywhere is Big South Fork. We're going to Timber Ridge, but you may want to try Honey Creek or Stations Camp even Bandy Creek is nice too. I know Honey Creek does a Thanksgiving dinner it kind of like a pot luck thing and they bring the turkey. We've stayed there on several Thanksgivings and I would rather be going there this year, but unfortunately I was out numbered.

We just returned from Circle E and it was great. Lots of riding.
Long C is on the KY/TN line and has some trails that are not open to hunters. I believe Thanksgiving weekend is the last weekend their bath house is open.

Natchez Trace Wrangler Camp.....I am pretty sure the hunters are restricted to the area north of I40 which leaves a whole lot of really good riding......Might want to call the Park......... I am planning on being there that weekend!

We were at Natchez Trace two years ago and had a great time. This year we are going to Huckleberry Stable, Pineville, MO. There is a trail cleanup on Saturday for Back Country Horsemen.

Wowee we haven't been to Pineville since those idiots turned the ponderosa into a ????with no horsecamping... I think Rick & Mary have a great place, but we are way oversized and have to camp primitive up on KK near there...Anyone going to Cedar Lake (OK), or Horse Heaven?? I need to check out where hunters are not the week after T'giving...within a couple of hundred miles of Springfield,Mo.?

Just got back from staying 5 days at Cedar Lake. That place is just great. One couple saw a mama bear with her cub on trail 5. We plan on going back next spring.
With the gas prices so hig I will be staying closer to hom nwxt year.
Also went to Huckleberry in Oct. My first time. It was also great riding. THe owners were great!
