Notice
Located in Cherokee County North Carolina, between the
towns of Murphy
NC and Tellico
Plains Tennessee, the Upper Tellico Off-Road Vehicle Area is
recognized as some of the best off-road trails.
A high elevation basin formed by the Unicoi Mountains,
the Tellico 4x4 Area is a network of old logging roads and skid trails
which range from easy to most difficult.
One of the few areas in the National
Forest in North Carolina where off-road vehicles may be used, Upper
Tellico Area offers trails for a variety of trail users including
ATV, 4WD and bikes. |

Offering 40 miles of trails, Upper Tellico’s 8,000 acres are known for great
fourwheeling. The Tellico River crosses this high elevation basin’s rugged, steep terrain. Most trails are open to all types of off-highway vehicles; one trail is restricted to all-terrain vehicles only. Many trails are rough and challenging, requiring front and rear tow hooks, special tires, and other features on 4-wheel drive vehicles. Only the access road is rated as “easy.” Upper Tellico is on the Tennessee State line about 13 miles north of Murphy, North Carolina.
