Below is the description from the Indiana DNR website, this is my first time to this location, so this is new to me.

Interlake State Recreation Area (ISRA), former coal mine land straddling Pike and Warrick counties, is a multi-use recreational facility focusing on off-road vehicle (ORV) recreation. Interlake is approximately 3,550 acres with nearly 100 miles of trails and 17 lakes (many of which can be accessed for fishing). The three areas of mining and reclamation create a variety of trail experiences for ORV enthusiasts, horse riders, hikers and mountain bikers. From steep spoil banks to rolling grasslands, man-made lakes and strip pits, Interlake offers a diverse array of topography and scenic views.

I believe there was parking at the gatehouse, or there is "staging" parking area about a mile past the gatehouse.

Meet at the gates by 9am EST, correct? My son and I will be there. How “easy” is this trail? How much mud on the easy trails? New Dueler A/T’s ok? Thanks

sounds good. There are a lot of easy trails, according to the DNR website. Here is a photo of my 4runner. I'll try and be there early
