I've see Catoosa wma mentioned when it comes to riding atvs. Can you legally ride atvs at Catoosa? Looking for somewhere since they closed Franklin forest to atv riders.
Thank you, somehow I missed that.From the Catoosa website regs

Last time I was out there about 4 years ago, we picked up a couple cases of beer cans. I made the comment to my wife that this will be the reason we lose the privilege to ride here.I wish they'd open Franklin State Forest back up. That's where we'd go a couple times a year and the last time we went last year didn't know it was closed until we got there. Apparently all the knuckleheads riding where they weren't supposed to and tearing it up got it shut down. It was a pretty ride which is all we went for.
I've never understood people who litter? How does someone think throwing their beer cans, bottles, sonic cups and cigarette packs on the ground is a good idea?....freaking ridiculous...we have some road frontage property and I have to pick up litter all the time...Lazy people who have no respect for anyone other than themselves...did I mention I dont like littering?....and great job by you and your wife stopping and picking up all the beer cans...hats off.Last time I was out there about 4 years ago, we picked up a couple cases of beer cans.
