Default Degray Lake anyone?

Im not to far from Degray Lake and i know a spot with alot of large boulders and natural rock, they seem to have plenty of traction and some of the lines ive found today were pretty crazy.

Its at the very end of the road past the lodge and restruant, on the opposite side of the road from the swiming beach. There is tons of parking, nice bathrooms, and atleast 300+ yards of massive rocks. I ran for over an hour and never got out of a 50 foot area....

If anyone who is around that would like to go let me know i plan on going not this coming weekend but the next. since I broke my truck today, dual 13.5 brushless on 3s ate the worms, going back to brushed once new brushes get here, along with new worms.

Ill get pictures and maybe some video of the spot at degray lake this weekend.

But i found another spot today right here in arkadelphia. This place looks like a good place to practice! I only got pictures of one side i guess i forgot to save the others on my phone. Its down in the creek by feaster trail. its rock banks with concrete poured all thorugh it to hold it all together. there is also a that huge pipe that spans from one wall to the other over the water if your brave. there is also tons of different kinds of rock right there down the creek maybe 50-100 feet, (shale, concrete, gravel, smooth rock, rough rock, lots of very shallow water on some rocks too)

here are two pics of one side and then a close up of what the surface it like.





the surface


if anyone wants to come crawl let me know, we can go here and out to degray the same day.

I am in Hot Springs, but most of my days free are during the week. I can't make most of the gtg's on the weekends around central Arkansas because of that.
I am off tomorrow.

Great find.
I am about 2 hours from that spot. Just post up when you wanna go up there. I do travel to several comps a month, so I'll see how it fits into the schedule. I'll be in Disney this weekend for Crawlapalooza.

This stuff has great traction. I drove on a spot similar to this while I was on vacation in Florida earlier this year.
