I have a 2wd that is looking for adventure while I continue her build; however I can't find any good places near Memphis TN that has nice scenery and isn't full on mudding. Anyone near me have ideas?

I've been looking for the same. Avoid the Covington Pike Bottoms like the plague. I've been tempted to head to the Hot Springs off road park one weekend. There might be some fire roads at a minimum in Holly Springs National Forrest. Other than that, I've come up with nothing.

Yeah that's never a good choice, if you find somewhere we can drive down there
 
Came across these from Midsouth Jeep Club

Bikini Bottoms in Dyersburg, TN. I hunt up around Dyersburg sometimes. Not a terrible drive.
Bikini Bottoms Off Road and Zip Line Park

Sugar Creek Trails in Millington. I read it gets super muddy there though.

That is about all I have come up with in my research. Most land is private, and while plenty of people posting about different areas, it isn't legal to off-road in them. Covington Pike bottoms isn't technical legal. People just go act like asses there.

I have a 2wd 4runner, think it would last at bikini bottoms?

Not exactly Memphis area, but Land Between the Lakes Turkey Bay has all sorts of trails. Range from the beginner basic courses to some much more advanced courses.
 
That's a long drive for them! lol

I've been to Turkey Bay at Land Between the Lakes before. I won't go back. The trails are really narrow and I didn't want to scratch up my truck too much, so we stuck to the big open trails that you could drive a Honda Civic on.

If y'all want a 5.5 hour drive, Pickett State Forest has some amazing trails and it's really pretty up there.

Man I'd love to head up there, is it possible to camp out there?

There is camping at Pickett State Park. It's about 15 minutes from the start of the trails. It's a pretty nice place and isn't expensive. There is a nice but very outdated bath house and plenty of camp spots.

That sounds nice, know the name? I'd like to get a rate. I would love to camp there
 
Gotcha. On the google earth file, green trails are easy, blue is medium, and red is hard. We did the mineral lake loop last time and it took us a while lol. It would be a lot faster now since we cleared out a lot of trees and branches last time.
