Last Known StatusOpen

This offroad park has about 1,200 acres of difficult 4x4 and ATV trails consisting of steep inclines, rocky sections, deep ruts and some pretty messy mud bogs. The trails are marked and rated for difficulty and are heavily patrolled. During wet weather the trails get very muddy.

The park is open year-round but hours are seasonal. The park may close on short notice due to inclement weather so call first before heading out. Camping is not permitted except during special events but nearby Skakamak State Park offers RV hookups and two boat ramps.
