Exclamation in norfolk/chesapeake area for work, needgreat spots!

Hey yall, im here on work at NNSY from Jedburg SC, Im staying in chesapeake for the next 28 days. My family will be up july 4th week, so id like to find some good places for scaler/trail/rock to take my son to, i have his honcho here already waiting for him! My land rover and his Honcho are very capable trucks, so the more difficult the better. They are water proof, so no issue there, were used to South Carolina swamp!!! I will also be looking for meets or events of some sort near this area the weekends of the 16th and 23rd. Any help would be great!! Addresses or gps locations are fine, im good with a map!!! Thank you for all your help!!

Tracey Pugliese

On google maps it is in the woods of "Indian River Park".

At the end of Miller Ave, it starts in a cul-de-sac and the trail starts right there. Everyone just parks there on the side of the road

Went to that park yesterday, drove the landtrover around for about 45 minutes, didnt really find anything but some hills and open trails, not reall fun, or difficult stuff for a slow truck. Is there a certain section that is more difficult? Its a big place, so im sure i just didnt find it, with as often as people run out there from what ive seen. Any other places?

If you follow the first rhythm section of jumps all the way back and follow it to the left on the other side of the rail, there's a section built for mountain bike trials that has wood bridges and stuff which is pretty fun. This is the south near the beach... You are not going to find rocks around here! Just dirt, hills, and trees. Lol just got to mAke do with what we got
