Dirty Turtle Offroad Park
Wednesday, December 11, 2024
| Other Names | (formerly Bucks Run Motocross And ATV Park) |
| Last Known Status | Closed |
This was a popular offroad park that featured a wide variety of trails and numerous mud bogs but is now closed. All vehicle types were permitted and trails ranged from easy and wide to rugged and steep with plenty of stream crossings. The park also had two motocross tracks that are about one mile long main and a separate peewee track.
Camping was permitted and there was plenty of space for large trailers. This listing will remain up for historical purposes and to prevent a wasted trip.
