Land Between the Lakes Trip

[SJ.Overland]

This was the trip @Hattyz and I took with some friends this past weekend to LBL. It was our first true dispersed camping trip and i think we learned quite a bit.

From Grand Rivers to Paris Tennessee, LBL is pretty cool.

So is the mighty Ohio river.

Yes it was very cool. I live in SW Ohio and frequent the Cincinnati area quite a bit. Very familiar with the mighty Ohio River!

it’s a really nice gem in this corner of of the country. There’s a few tougher forest roads if you wanna do some light wheeling and plenty of places to drop camp. I try to get out there as much as I can. Hit me up if you go back and I’ll come up from Nashville!

I’m definitely up for that. I probably won’t make it back down that way until next year since it’s a 5 hr trip for me. But I did not get to explore anywhere near what I wanted to. We also stayed on the Kentucky Lake side exclusively. I’d be interested to go with some folks that know the area!

Great pics man! Glad you had fun at LBL, I've backpacked manly places throughout the LBL area but now enjoying via my taco. I've got some friends who frequently organize smaller meetups. Hopefully we'll cross paths at some point!

Happy Travels!!

Pic from some camping spot recon this Saturday!

@boogiedynamite I’m currently trying to organize a small group maybe 4-6 rigs for a Winter run. Probably close to a month out. Any interest?

Will keep you posted. Trying to get a winter group together.

Might be game. Only 30 miles away. Camping on the south end this weekend at piney Campground.

Likely won’t be down that way until late Jan. Any trails you can recommend? Just did the DBBB.

Awesome will do! Out of curiosity when are you going? Might be able to make a second trip. Happy new year as well!

Update on my crew. Due to scheduling now targeting Mid to Late Feb. However 2 of us are willing to make a trip down earlier. Maybe weekend of the 22nd-24th.

Noted. Coordinating with a couple dates myself, will confirm this week.

Okay so can now confirm our dates will have to be 22-24 of Jan if we come down on the early trip. Let me know if y’all end up on that weekend. Also quick question. What comms system do y’all run? We have GMRS but can grab some CB handhelds if needed.
