| Last Known Status | Open (open during select weekends) |
This offroad park at one time featured 1300 acres of trails, play areas, rock gardens and mud bogs but appears to be closed. The terrain ranged from steep and rugged hill climbs, chunky rock gardens to narrow single track trails.
The park was open during select weekends during the summer and primitive camping was permitted. This listing will remain up for historical purposes and to prevent a wasted trip.
