Eastern Evangeline District Trail
Originally a WWII training site, the Eastern Evangeline District Trail offers Lake Charles drivers well-maintained trials that are easy to navigate at slower speeds but offer plenty of excitement if you put a little wind through your hair. The birthplace of both the 82nd and the 101st Airborne, these trials offer a history lesson with a few markers and visitor areas.
Sherburne Wildlife Management Area
Located along the easter bank of the Atchafalaya River, these gravel and dirt roads offer a network of trails along with camping, hunting, and shooting ranges. Whatever adventure Lafayette drivers are looking for, they are sure to find it on these trails. Open year-round, the Sherburne Wildlife Management Area can be accessed at the south end by exiting I-10 at Exit 127 or the north end by exiting Highway 190 at Junction 975.
Grassy Lakes Wildlife Management Area Central Trail
Connecting a few campgrounds and boat launches, the Grassy Lakes Wildlife Management Area Central Trails offer Rayne drivers a chance to have some fun with their Wrangler. One nice feature of this trail is that nearby cell towers cover most of the area, keeping you connected in case of an emergency. There are spurs that can take you to other areas of Grassy Lakes, letting drivers expand their trip by a few hours or days if they desire. Access is from Bayou Natchitoches Road.
A choice of Style
Offered in a variety of trims, the Jeep Wrangler has something to offer every driver in South Louisiana. From the entry model Sport to the King of the Dirt, the Rubicon 392 Final Edition, there is a Wrangler for every adventure.
Plenty of Power
The base engine for the Wrangler is a 3.6-liter V6 that makes 285 horsepower and can be paired with a six-speed manual or an eight-speed automatic. There is also a 2.0-liter turbo I4 that makes 270 horsepower, along with a 375-horsepower hybrid powertrain. The 6.4-liter V8 is only found on the Rubicon 392 Final Edition.
Why the Wrangler is a Great Off-Roader
One of the reasons the Jeep Wrangler is so good at off-roading is its short wheelbase. Combined with a high ground clearance, the Wrangler can navigate obstacles many other vehicles would get stuck on simply because of its geometry. Another aspect is the advanced four-wheel drive system with locking differentials. This allows for the Wrangler to deliver power to the wheels that have traction, pulling it out of any tight spots. The solid axles also play a role, allowing the Wrangler to sustain a beating on rough terrain. Disconnecting sway bars also helps to keep the Wrangler's tires in contact with the ground, boulders, or tree stumps as you cross uneven terrain. Lastly, the big off-road tires that come on the Jeep Wrangler help to grip loose ground and shed mud to keep your wheels from slipping on rough terrain.
