Distribute Fliers

We have been involved in trying to convince an Alabama government agency to develop an OHV and Recreational Complex on 2832 acres of land that was given to Talladega County by the National Park Service. You can help by completing the Ride Survey below.

Megan McCormick of Loganville, Ga., who is a member of Cheaha Trial Riders, helps distribute fliers in Talladega in support of OHV recreation.

The complex and land was an old WWII Army ordinance depot with about 1000 acres within a fence, which is level ground and another 1800 acres surrounding the property, which are hills and mountains. There are currently over 40 miles of OHV trails in the complex that use to be old WWII guard trails. The property was given to the Talladega County Commissioners over 4 years ago by the National Park Service (NPS ) and the County has not done any development of the land. The application from the County to the NPS stated the County wanted it to construct ORV Trails and other recreational facilities. CTR's proposal to the Commissioners included creating a non-political Park Authority to design, develop and manage the land for OHV and other recreational activities that would bring millions of dollars in revenues to the area and produce a first-class recreational facility. We are your advocates to see that OHV recreation is a vital part of Alabama. You can help by completing the Ride Survey below. The Ride Survey is very short and simple and will help solidify our revenue impact estimates that we have supplied to the agencies that have been interested in the land. We will also contact you should an agency decide to develop the land for OHV and other recreational activities. By doing this, we can alert you to the status of the land and OHV potential development.
