Trails 

Trails within the park range from open prairie for novice riders to heavily timbered areas for more advanced riders and include water crossings and mudding areas. Trailhead signs within the park will indicate what machines are allowed on certain trails.

An informational kiosk is located in the parking lot and at each phase entrance to help riders navigate the park. Some trails in the park have been closed and rerouted to improve riding experience.

Trail signs indicate trail numbering, difficulty ratings, and vehicle-use type. As always, we encourage rider responsibility and assessment of abilities when choosing trails to enjoy.

Tremendous effort has been invested in developing this riding area. Please stay on marked trails and follow all posted signs.
