With trails from Easy to Nearly Impossible, Tellico truly offers something for everyone. Near stock Jeeps with all-terrains can have a great time on the easy to moderate trails. The harder stuff is usually pretty tough and it's quite common to see huge tires, stretched frames and high horsepower on these trails. 

The Upper Tellico Off Road Vehicle area consists of approximately 8000 acres located about 12 miles northwest of Murphy NC near the very western most tip of the NC where it borders Tennessee and Georgia.  Tellico is located deep within the Nantahala National Forest.  It is a high-elevation basin formed by the surrounding Unicoi Mountains, with elevations ranging from 2500' up to 4980'. Having been heavily but selectively logged from about 1950 until 1969, most of the well worn trails are the remnants of logging and skidder trails. After the logging operations ceased the area became increasingly known for it's rugged off-road vehicle challenges.
