Anyone familiar with the park, I'd like to get some recommendations on what trails to hit. I'm going there March 22 with a JL on 35s (my TJ on 33s) both have lockers.

OP
awesome!! thank you for this list! Do you mind if I ask where did you get it from? Have you done any of them?
OP
I've heard about 16 but not 26 and 51. Have you done any of those 3? How tough/doable are they?
Youtube has a ton of videos of windrock if you just search the "trail number windrock"
For example
For example
Got them from the map. I have done most of them but it was several years ago. I have been to Windrock more recently but I was specifically looking for harder trails, you can search "windrock" and find write ups of my last few windrock trips but the trails we ran during those trips are Advanced (35's and lockers minimum).
If you have never been to Windrock, you really want to make a day of getting out to the Caryville Flats. Leave early because it is a long day to get out there and back, my above recommendations states to take black top back and taking the black top will take a good 45-60 minutes (if you need to go back to General Store, if not, it is less than that to get to town); however, you don't have to take the black top back you can look at the map and find green and blue trails back to the general store (just takes time).
Those are the only badges I have
. They are all “intermediate “ trails but vary in difficulty depending on the time since maintenance and any recent rains. 51 is Panther Rock and has a popular overlook. 26 is a long rock garden up a hillside. As others have mentioned, there are YouTube videos of many windrock trails. Just don’t assume the trail conditions will be the same during your visit. Hope you have a great visit!
Those greens and blues heading back to the General Store are an absolute blast rolling about 40 at mid-night with 4 dudes in the rig. Add a few gas cans sitting on laps and you really have a party!
…and yes, OP, I have done that.
OP
Trip went great. Did several trails including 26, 51, 22, 2. It was raining when I did 22 which made it a little more challenging but fun.
