Wolf Pen Gap

[Chunz82]

I just returned from a 3 day ride on the wolf pen gap trail system outside Mena, Arkansas in the Ouchita Mountains. I was super pleased with the performance of the BR... It rained the first two days so the trails were sloppy and had NO DUST! I took some scratches but the size was not the problem I was concerned about. Olivecrossbones would be proud of me... I spent 3 hours getting my BR back to showroom clean! I now know I need a rear view mirror and a slim 4 gallon gas tank before my next trip to wolf pen.

Can a 2011 with BR make it at wolf pen with factory tires and no winch. Looks like fun, also nice BR you have there!

[Chunz82]

I'm on the same maxis tire just a 27" instead of a 25".... Yes... I never needed my winch... I would say it's a must! I rode close to 200 miles.

My son and I are planning a trip on the second week of march. 200 miles in 3 days is unbelievable !! I dont think i can match that , how many tanks of fuel did you use ? thanks in advance

[Chunz82]

Almost 2 tanks. I was very impressed by the milage b/c I was riding pretty hard... I will be there first or second weekend in march also.... We may have a big red take over that week. The owner of the atv campground told me mine was the first Honda side by side at his place.

After 1 year of trail use, I can highly recommend the Rotopax gas can system. They are thin, easy to mount, breakdown into 2 gallon units (I carry 2), and perform as advertised. While they are pricey and require additional pricey parts to mount and lock, they are well constructed and install easily. I mounted mine in an upright position along the back wall of the dump box of the Hippo. As the price of gas approaches $4.00, the next problem will be being able to afford to fill them.

chunz82 can you give me some advice on a good place for my son and I to stay possibly on or near the trails, only been to arkansas once. im from lafayette la.

[Chunz82]

Since I am a former Ragin' Cajun I will tell you that the best place is wolf pen gap atv campgrounds. Look up their website... If you are looking for a cabin you need to call them soon. They are good people and will help you get familiar with the trails..... Geaux Cajuns!

[johnathanb]

[dglide]

I will be there on march 7 and 8. First time , not sure what to expect. I have put several hundred miles on the harley enjoying the beautiful scenery and also caught some big stripped bass in Lake Quatachita. I love arkansas !!

[Chunz82]

I'll be there the weekend of march 4th... I'm super fired up

[dglide]

Had a great time time at wolf pen !!! I am very impressed with the big red, plenty of power to climb some almost up muddy mountain sides . Thank you all for the excellent advise . Wish it was a closer , 7 hr drive from lafayette but I will definitely go back

[johnathanb]

[johnathanb]

well we made it back and had a blast except for my trailer breaking and my sons polaris getting water in the tank it was alot of fun we are already planning to go back for sure by next year

[dglide]

Has anyone taken a big red on the most difficult trails in wolf pen and if so, what was it like. Thanks

[johnathanb]

I covered every trail but 8 and the short leg that connects 8 to 6 (836) only did the one most difficult on 4 but it made it ok. I won't lie it was scary as hell but it made it next time i plan to cover what i didn't this time on big red but without my wife and daughter on it with me

I did them all even the whole #8... it was way scary... I'll never do it again just because I don't like denting and scratching something I have invested 15k cash in..... It can handle the whole trail system... Just ask the ryno punk that called me out then broke a belt at the top of 836.... I'm heading back June 13th and can't wait!!!!
