Ive stayed at WindRock 4 different times over the past 5 years and that place is amazing! The staff is very helpful and always feel very welcomed. Great video!! 🤙🏼
It might be useful to know that the overall Windrock organization is divided into three sections and they run very independently of one another. For example, the people at the general store don't have any control over the campgrounds or the cabin rentals. The people at the store can only tell you all about the trail conditions and purchasing trail passes. Then there is the event area where they hold the concerts and mud-bog competitions. Again, a separate entity. And while you may be able to purchase event tickets at the general store, they have no control over the events. People are often surprised to find that after renting a cabin or camp site, they also have to separately purchase a trail pass. But it's easier to understand once you know more about their organization - and that a waiver is required before you can purchase a trail pass. The most common complaint I see is regarding the "rental" of a map-app that seems to fail many users. One reason might be because many phones don't have a GPS but use cell towers which can not be reached at Windrock unless you are on a mountain top. The map might still function but can't always tell you where YOU are. Personally, I would simply buy the paper map and navigate for myself. It's also useful to note that if you wander off Windrock's 72,000 acres onto TWRA lands, that those trails are not on the Windrock map at all and that off-roading TWRA lands requires a different pass, a pass you can purchase from the state.
I've been looking up this park for a while looking for good information about it thank you for posting this video you gave me a lot of great information now I just got to get myself to Tennessee 🤙😁
Welcome to the "ROCK" where at good set of tires and aftermarket skids at windrock are must have IMO, trails at windrock are so much more fun than other places, looks like ya'll turned around and did not finish the trail
I would not call it "farm equipment". Dual purpose yes, but we have a machine that usually walks through any situation with ease, whether it is mud, mountains or sand, now that we have replaced the poorly designed transmission.
I dont understand when people buy and bring farm equipment to windrock. I dont know much about generals. They some kind of mix breed? Nice video about unformation on the park though.
Daniel Frank The General Bridges the gap between work & play. It is an extremely competent vehicle. The transmission blew on this trip, but it was a major design flaw, that has since been rectified.
most of the time people not buy it for trail riding but already have one for working on their land. but someone can still have fun with what they have !
todd wolff I have not ridden Royal Blue. Our trip there was unfortunately cancelled, due to Covid. I can tell you, it is much more challenging than Hatfield & McCoy. And, not necessarily in a good way. Many trails at Windrock were marked blue or green, when they should have been black or red. Good way to damage your equipment. We loved Windrock, but were a little frustrated with the maps.
Very informative video! Nice job.

We had to turn around. Blew a giant hole in the transmission. Once we winched to the top, we had to slowly work our way off the mountain.
Great video. Loved it
Glad you enjoyed it!
I still shake my head at people bringing farm equipment to windrock

Cheaper to stay at da gap campground
Oh yeah, don't go by that map on difficulty. Rains and riders change the trails
Is windrock better riding than royal blue??

Much better. RB is a ripoff with terrible service.
