NEMACOLIN
OFF-ROAD DRIVING ACADEMY
The
Hummer® is made to do amazing things, and the Off-Road Driving Academy
at Nemacolin Woodlands has the only courses in the country constructed
soley to show off its impressive off-road capabilities.
You'll crawl up 22-inch vertical steps. Inch down rocky descents. Power
up 31-degree slopes. And see for yourself why the military chooses these
vehicles for the rigors of everyday use.
If you're a thrill seeker, these courses will quite literaly blow
you away
THE ROCK
This instructional
course is designed to demonstrate the Hummer's capabilities and introduce
you to proper off-road driving techniques.
Trainning takes place on the observation deck as well as behind the
wheel.
THE
CRATER
A
seven-acre, mile long course with several water-fording ponds, multiple
climbs, awkward desccents, moguls and much more; it puts your new skills
to use on a larger, more elaborate course.
Both The Rock and The Crater have been designed with enviornmently
friendly principles in mind. Each course has a driving surface that
minimizes erosion to help alleviate runoff. Fording sites were built
specifically for off-roading by isolating water into ponds.
THE TRAILS
Over 600 wooded acres and over 20 miles of terrain
loaded with every type of obstacle imaginable, muddy ponds, logs,
precarious side slopes, rock crossings, steep inclines and verticle
ledges. All your experience from the previous two courses comes into
play as you navigate each obstacle with confidence and grace.
The Off-Road Driving Academy promotes the Tread Lightly®
principles. Tread
Lightly® is a non-profit organization that educates recreationalists
from hikers to off-roaders on responsible, low impact ways to enjoy
the enviornment.
