Comments:
After going here twice in a 2 year span since it opened as an offroad park, I will say that it is extremely focused toward Bikes and ATVs. They do have some Jeep trails, but not many considering its taughted size of 2300 acres. The Jeep trails they do have are extremely simple; and most could be traversed in a 2WD car. If you want a place to see the woods, and to practice offroading as a beginner, this might be a good alternative. Otherwise, if you know what a locker is, have a highlift jack, and can tell the spline-count difference in a Dana 35 and a Ford 8.8 axle....you will be bored out of your mind (and mad for paying $25 to ride here...especially if you kick your tire while eating lunch and break a valve-stem like Teddy did :^)
