Hello I live in Kentucky and rode to Jelico last weekend from the west, Big South Fork Nat'l. Recreation Area. I didn't have the T,A,T, maps but we found our way with De Lorme atlas.
Pretty nice area, we rann up several blind alleys. There are very few signs and we went up one named road that seemed to have been bought up and closed off. A bit confusing.
I rode a 650 KLR and it's O.K. for the job, but I had to stand on the pegs and ride fairly hard some of the time. We went through some creeks that were over the pegs. I'm not sure I'd want a bigger bike for this.
One other thing Tennessee in June can be 100 degrees F and in the woods with no air moving very oppressive. Hydrate well and take plenty of breaks. You can always bail for blacktop find a store and enjoy a R.C. and a Moonpie.
Have fun.
