Kisatchie National Forrest, Louisiana

We ride in Kisatchie National Forrest. There are actually 3 seperate locations there to ride.

1. Camp Caiborne - Located near Forrest Hills, LA
This location has been getting smaller and smaller. The park ranger has been drastically decreasing the riding areas.
2. Camp Cravens - Located near Cravens, LA (just north of Deridder, LA)
This is where we go the most. It has a nice mix of trails, small hills, and a highline that, in 12 years of riding, I have never seen dry. . .
3. Camp Lotus - Located north and east of Leesville, LA
This is like the Cravens location. It is actually one HUGE 36 mile loop with a 10 mile cut across. We've been there several times

All of these locations have camp grounds, we haven't been to the Claiborne camp lately but Cravens and Lotus have bathrooms.

Here's a link http://www.fs.fed.us/r8/kisatchie/maps/calc-maps.html. There is a link on the right side for "OHV Trail Status" it tells you if the trails are open or not. They get closed when it rains.

Sounds like some fun places to go. Will the full size Ranger fit the trails ok? Thanks for the post.
