It might be a little drive for some of yall, but its an awesome park. Everything from mild to wild! I flopped mine for the first time there. Another event coming up is one I always look forward to, The Farm. Is another privite park that is open a few times a year. I would love to see some of you guys there. If you do go, expect some body damage!! Its in Linconton, NC not far from 321 on 150.

Here's a pick from the top of the hill at the last open event at the flats. This pick was early in the day and it was only a one day fun raiser. The weekend long event have twice this many....

I went there for an ECORS race once. I doubt I'd take the Jeep that far for a weekend though. It seemed small though.
 
The part that they use for ecors is pretty small. The whole park is quite big. Not Harlan or Coal Creek big, but I'm pretty sure its around 80 to 100 acers. You can ride a whole day and not do it all. It's diffrent though. The trails milage wise is not very impressive, but if your in a group of 3 or 4 it takes time. It's kinda slow going cause of the obsticals on the trails.
 
To be honest, Ive been to the Flats 4 or 5 times, it is very small, but a ton of fun. Its about 68 Acres. Smaller than Gulches, but a ton of crazy steep uphill climbs that you better bring some horsepower for.

Glenn definately would be a good trip for you, but only if you were already heading this way for some reason, its got about a days worth of trails, then you start repeating stuff and the breakage level is pretty high here lol

I like the flats a lot easy street is my favorite trail only thing is if someone breaks you wait for them to be pulled out or you an the line behind you back out but trails they aren't long but fun can't wait to go in April for the down an dirty ride for cancer an the guys from the rock corps that I have meet couldn't been more friendly
 
I have friend that was there a couple weeks ago, he let one of his nephew's friends drive, he rolled it. Good thing it's a trail only rig
