Wheeling @ Superlift Park -Hot Springs, AR -PICS :D

I tried to get someone to go wheeling with me while I’m down in Hot Springs Arkansas. Super Lift has their Off-Road park there; it’s 1,250 acres of Off-Road Thrills. The park is well maintained and the trails are from mild to WILD. Today when I arrived at the park, I was the only one out there on the trails. I took it easy, staying on level 3 trails mostly. The reason was I didn’t have a spotter and no other vehicles were out there on any trails. It’s not a good idea to run Hard Core trails by yourself. Any trails levels over 3 and above you need a spotter. I had a great time, taking my time, checking out all the different trail sections, some are pretty gnarly.



Park Features
  1. They offer both tent and RV campsites nestled in beautiful shaded hardwoods. Their shower-house and rest rooms are clean and climate-controlled.
  2. RV campsites with electrical and water hook-ups
  3. Primitive tent camping sites
  4. Restrooms / shower house
  5. Convenience store
  6. 3900 sq. ft. pavilion for group events
  7. Trails are clearly marked and difficulty rated
  8. Park fee includes a map
  9. Over 1,250 pristine wooded acres
  10. Family-oriented environment
  11. Club and group discounts available
  12. Member and Non-Member rate packages
  13. Official ATV Safety Institute training area





A nicely rigged out Jeep that is going to be Raffled Off at an upcoming event.



And of course the the applicable poser pics. I didn't have anyone to take photos or video.





A VERY Narrow gap (A few inches on each side of the vehicle) you have to squeeze through, the pics don't do it justice...They never do.



Another pic that dosen't do this area justice, this is Sooo Steep, it's almost a vertical wall to climb, it's a level 5. You have to be there to see what I'm talking about.



Same thing here, this photo is just to the left of the first shot of the steep incline.



This is another level 3 trail I took which also turns into a level 4 and 5









This is on "Donnies Hill" another level 3. Nice trail, had to drop down into 4 Lo for some parts of this trail.



A parting poser shot before leaving.

I joined the park for a year, it was like $56. for the year, that gets you in at around $13.00 aday, if you don't get a membership, its $26.00 aday one time. It paid for me to get the membership, I only live about three hours from here. I'm brining Mrs Shadow next time.

I definitely want to come back for the big Razorback Landcruisers Razorback Ramble June 6th – 8th

This is only a month before the Summit, a good primer for better things to come. This Toyota only TLCA sanctioned event will have guided trail rides for every level enthusiast so if you have a shiny new FJ Cruiser or a trail battered Iron Pig there will be plenty of trail action for you.

Nice pics Mike... I think this is the first time I saw your Rig after the crazy MODS with some dirt on it... still looks AMAZING... Best when in its' Natural Habitat.
Hey Quick question: Did you spray paint the Headlights like the corner lights or do you have some sort of a (tint) cover over them?

Nice pics Mike. If I get back to see the Parents (Russellville) I'll give you a shout. Hot Springs ain't so far from them I guess.

To answer your question I used automotive paint and sprayed the taillights and turn signals using Black & Clear.

Thanks Leroy

If the Steep Chute is the name of one of the trails, I have no idea. There must be close to 150 different trails you can take, the place has over 1,200 acres, it's MASSIVE. It has every type of challange the you would want for ALL experience levels. Very cool place, I'll be going back.
