McFarland Road Trail in Tennessee- Remnants of an abandoned town, cement factory & spillway!

Watch as BackRoadsBound and friends explore some backroads in Tennessee to find some not so technical but oh so cool glimpses into the past. When your weekend starts by camping at a state park as nice as Vogel you know it's going to be awesome and with this group of friends it's just good for the soul.

    Quite the trip and quite the trail. Those structures out there are incredible that they built them way back when.

    We agree for sure. I think that seeing those structures in that location stands as a reminder of the adversity that generation overcame to build a better life which has benefited us all. Loved this ride.

    It was a fun day. We wish that we had more time to video more of Vogel State park but didn’t want to impose on our group and take up to much of their time while we filmed. Definitely a logistical issue we hope to get better at and find a happy medium. Hope all is well with y’all have a great week.

    Just a side note - spring time bass and trout fishing is pretty good in the lake there. :)

    man i need to get my diesel gladiator to run a adventure with you guys!!! How many jeeps does it take to escort a toyota up a trail?!? Ive been on that road. love the history of the huge water pipes through the mountains. lots more trails back there! The pipes from that power plant have a trail system that is really cool.

    Could i tag along sometime in my 2023 Tacoma off road truck? I just moved back home to live near kingspoet, tn after living for oastv33 years in richmond, va. U want to learn the offroad trails in east tennessee and western nc that I can go have fun driving on. There is a guy from kingsport, TN who has a forest green gladiator that also has same bed rack and tent set-up. His truck has bigfoot decals on it.

    We would love to have others join us that is always part of the fun. Unfortunately given our work schedule we never really know when we might have an opportunity to go so it can be very spur of the moment. If you want to send me your location and the trail that is near you that we could ride we will try to plan something for sure
