Brimstone Recreation is the off-road heart of Scott County — more than 300 miles of trails winding across the Cumberland Plateau ridgeline. For ATV and side-by-side riders, horseback explorers, and anyone who likes their scenery with a little adrenaline, it’s one of the premier riding destinations in the eastern United States. And it sits just minutes from the domes and cabins at Big South Glamping.
What you’ll find
The trail system ranges from easy forest roads to technical climbs, all marked and maintained. Beyond riding, Brimstone offers cabins, camping, and a full calendar of seasonal events — including the legendary White Knuckle Event and The Paragon Adventure, which draw riders from across the country. Day passes and multi-day permits are available; bring your own machine or check current rental options.
