Last Known Status | Open |
This 157-acre offroad park borders the Kansas River and offers miles of narrow ATV trails, a small play area and a makeshift motocross track. The trails are mostly smooth and hard packed and wind through some woods and open fields.
Recent improvements have been added which include a fenced in parking area and marked trails. There is no fee charged to ride but the trails are open for day use only. Camping is not permitted but nearby Lake Shawnee offers a full service campground, swimming and a boat ramp.
