Turkey Bay OffRoad aka LBL is one of the most diverse offroad parks east of the Mississipi river. It rivals the Superlift offroad park in Arkansas. There are many challenge areas for those seeking an adrenaline rush. The eastern side of the park borders the Ky. Lake, which offers beautiful scenery. Rocky terrain, dense forrest, a couple of creeks, and a lake make for a wonderful place to wheel.... more | |

Great park in a great area
LBL is a great place in general. There's plenty of outdoor activities to do. Fishing one day, off roading the next. There's a reason that Jeep Jamborees are held here. There's plenty of terrain and some good overlooks to the lakes. | |

We frequent the area for clean ups and trail rides, as well as camping and other events. The trails range from beginner, they also offer courses, to advanced. The rock gardens grow often, The trails are well marked and maps are available during check in at the gate... more | |
