Last Known Status

Open

This off-road park offers about 60 miles of marked and rated one way trails that form four separate loops. The terrain is very rugged with lots of obstacles that range from steep hill climbs, loose chunk rock, boulders, deep mud puddles and some deep trenches. There is a small beginner loop that is about two miles long but the main trail system is really geared for experienced riders.

The property has a full service campground which offers spacious sites, RV hookups, swimming beach, boat ramp (electric motors only), cabins, picnic shelters and store that sells firewood, ice, night crawlers and sodas.

The ATV trails are open daily year-round and occasional offroad and special events are hosted. Call for details.
