Spillway in New Orleans (LaPlace)

Spillways alright... they've had the good half with all the trails closed for over a year now, but other than that its a good place to go mess around, be careful cause on weekends it gets pretty packed.

its all free to ride, i belive hours are pretty much sun up to sun down, its on a sign when you drive up.
last i saw it it was underwater when the surge from ike was coming through, that was last friday... who knows it may be somewhat dry now.

helmets required!!


And welcome to the ORG!!
The southern LA riders numbers are gettin strong on the site now! WATCH OUTT

let me know when you get up here man!

spillway is ok. a few years ago it was alot better. everything is all whooped out and rutted. like stated above area 2 is much better..fast wooded trails etc. but is closed for whatever reason they decided. usually the mud riders rut it up so it stays closed more than it is open. it is a free place to ride. to beat the crowds we usually hit it early in the morning and leave around noon....(less idiots). if yall want to try a lil sand they have a spot....sandhill in wiggins ms. about 1.5 hrs from new orleans. sand drags and trails sundays usually are the better day. i have a private woods track on about 100 acres but it is still unridable from the hurricanes. i started to clear trails yesterday but about half is still underwater from ike. (swamp ridges) so that is out for a while. i will probably hit the spillway soon just to go. i will let yall know if you want to come out.

We need to hit the spillway soon...our trip to Little Sahara fell through! :mad2:
