The Upper Tellico ORV Area is located in the
Nantahala National Forest near Murphy, North Carolina in
Cherokee County. Murphy is located in the southwestern part
of the state where North Carolina, Tennessee, and Georgia
all come together, and at the junction of Hwy 19/74 and Hwy
64. The Upper Tellico ORV Area is famous for some of the
best 4x4 trail riding in all of America. Names like
Guardrail, Helicopter Pad, Slick Rock and School Bus all
conjure up visions of rock piles, steep hills and off camber
ascents to challenge offroaders of all experience levels.
The Upper Tellico Area is a high-elevation
basin formed by the Unicoi Mountains. The Tellico River and
its numerous feeder streams are born amid the high oaks and
dissect the 8000 acres of rugged, steep terrain. Elevations
range from 2500 feet on the Tellico River at the North
Carolina – Tennessee State line to 4979 feet on the Grassy
Top Mountain. The forest cover is mostly mixed hardwoods
with some pine and a variety of understory species.
