Last Known Status

Open

This company provides guided UTV tours on 1,000 acres of private land. The tour covers a mix of logging roads that wind through dense forests and grassy meadows with shallow stream crossings and rolling hills. After a day of riding visitors can also play a round of golf at the golf course or enjoy a treat at the ice cream shop.

The tours are operated with an impressive fleet of new Can-Am Commander Side-by-Sides and a Can-Am Defender MAX and can accommodate up to 10 people. The tours run daily, weather permitting, and reservations are required.
