Southern ATV Clubs:
Mississippi Edition
There are numerous clubs and organizations
across the state of Mississippi that enjoy
hitting the “Off-Road”. From mud slingers to
trail blazers, you are sure to find a group in
your location that suits you and your style.
 Southern Mississippi:
4 Wheelin’ 4 Christ, Inc.
(www.4wheelin4christ.com) is a Christian group
of family oriented folks that love to ride the
open trails and spread the gospel all at the
same time. This club is based in Liberty, MS and
is attempting to hold quarterly rides. An entire
family can join for $25 each year. They have a
forum on ATV Source so anyone can join in on any
of their topics. For more information email
them.
info@4wheelin4christ.com.
South Mississippi ATV Association (www.smatva.com)
is based in Hattiesburg, MS, but attends rides
and events all over the Southeastern part of the
US. SMATVA is a fun loving, family oriented
group that enjoys the great outdoors while
trying to preserve it for the future. While
working with their local U.S. Forest Department,
they have devoted numerous hours of volunteer
work in aiding to preserve ATV and OHV trail
systems. The yearly dues are $5 per person or
$10 for families. Check the SMATVA forum topics
frequently at ATV Source or email them at
smatva@hotmail.com.
 Central Mississippi:
Central Mississippi ATV Association (www.cmatva.com)
was started in the capitol city by a few riders
looking for others that shared a common goal. In
the near future they will lead the way for trail
construction in the Bienville National Forest
District. If you live in the Jackson area and
seem to find yourself worried that you might not
have anyone to ride with, give these guys a
call. They make rides often and are always
welcoming in new people. Nothing better than a
friend to share some OHV riding with and a good
grilled burger. Their forums can also be found
on ATV Source or email Jeremy at
jguzzardo@connerindustries.com.
Extreme 4x4 (www.extreme4x4.net) is located
in the Jackson area. This group rides anything
off-road. From ATVs to trucks, they invite all
to join and ride. Unusually, Extreme 4x4 does
not have any membership dues. Just join their
forum and blaze the trails as an Extreme 4x4
member. They ride mostly local areas, but they
have fun anywhere they are slingin’ mud. For
more information, shoot them an email at
greg@extreme4x4.net.
The Pearl River Mud Dawgs (www.pearlrivermuddawgs.com)
are based in the Ridgeland- Jackson area. If you
like a “wholelotta” wild mixed with a
“wholelotta” mud, then check these guys out.
They ride “extreme toys in extreme mud”. If you
have ever been to a mud event in the south, then
you have probably seen these guys slingin’ their
fair share of mud. Contact Bruno for more info:
bruno@pearlrivermuddawgs.com.
The South Mud Kings (www.thesouthmudkings.com)
are just that “kings of mud”. If you love to
sling a lot of mud or watch others get down and
dirty, then you might want check these good
folks out. They also base themselves in the
Jackson-Florence area. The Kings love to bring
other outdoor enthusiasts together on the web
site. Click on their forums section to see other
groups from hunters to off-road clubs. For
information or questions email them at
muddybaldman@thesouthmudkings.com.
ATV clubs and organizations are increasing at
an alarming rate. Riding areas, however, are
decreasing rapidly each and every day. Join a
local ATV or off-road organization to help our
voices become louder in keeping our trails open.
There is power in numbers! If I have left a club
out, I apologize. Just notify ATV Source to have
your group posted on the ATV Source club
listing. ATV Source is how I found my local
organization!
