K-Bar-M ATV and Dirt Bike Park
Wednesday, December 11, 2024
| Other Names | Gaffney, Poleca Creek, Minkum Creek, Cats Creek Rd, KBar, KBarM, KayBar |
| Last Known Status | Closed |
This offroad park at one time had around 58 miles of woods trails on 800+ acres but is now closed and no longer open for riding. The property offered a wide variety of terrain that consisted of several creek crossings, rugged hill climbs, a motocross track for both ATVs and dirt bikes, and a deep mud bog. During wet weather conditions the trails could get very muddy (even after a light rain), which made some sections more challenging.
Camping was permitted for an additional fee. There was a large flat grassy parking area but no other services.
The park was open Saturdays and Sundays to the general public and weekday riding was available by appointment. This listing will remain up for historical purposes and to help prevent a wasted trip.
