I live in Dallas. I had a friend meet me there from SA. He said it was a bout a 2 hr drive. They have all sorts of difficulty levels. I started with a group which was perfect. The group leader spotted everybody on difficult parts of the trail. If you saw something you didn't want to try then there was always a way around an obstacle. I recommend rock bars, but open diffs can make it arond fine. I also recommend at leats a 2.5 lift and good beefy tires, that where I got most of the stock jeeps. the trooper has a pretty low stock gear box and that helps as well. Katemcy is lots of granite boulders and small creeks to drive through. It seems small (only 800 acres) but that is large enough tokeep you busy for a good weekend. There were a lot of really hardcore custom built rigs. I will be going back.

I have also been to Barnwell in Gilmer. Much larger park at about 1600 acres, and the trails there are marked. Barnwell is sand and mud with a few rocky ledges. I would say there is more difficult climbing at Katemcy. Katemcy is open granite boulders and cliffs.
