This is a great fun place to be at, but my review is about people who work (and ride) there. I am a novice dirt rider who came to the park to make my first round if mistakes. I ended up in a wrong (expert level) trail with a broken coolant hose and non-ridable bike. I had no idea what to do and how to get out. Lucky for me, a fellow (a lot more experienced rider) found me there and went for help. Soon the rangers came to help me out. They rolled my bike through the bushes and then picked it up on their truck. Unfortunately i know the name of only one of them, Ryan, but i want to express the word of appreciation to all people working in the park. And special thanks to Ryan for letting me to leave the bike in the park overnight and assisting in loading it to the towing truck the next day.

Plenty of room to park, bring your trailer to park. it's a long day at the races. No fee to watch.. it would be nice if the snack shack was open. Exciting to watch these little young racers and all the work that goes in it. Drivers are very safe. The cars are small but fast. Shown in the photo is the winner 🏆 of both races #1. Good time for families on a weekend.

Great place. Not too big. Has different trails for beginners, intermediate and novice. Also has an area for beginners to practice. Big parking lot, and only $6 per car per day.

Just stopped by to take a couple of photos after stumbling across it while looking for large birds. Park rangers were very nice and pointed me in the right direction. The guy in the photos saw me taking pictures and gave me something to shoot and a big thumbs up after.

Jason Cordoba | Sep 7, 2021

They're open, you need to make a reservation on the website. I was there last weekend. I don't think UTVs are allowed, I've never seen any out there....except for the rangers.

Nearest campground? Or is camping available there?

Is the park open during "wet" weather?

christian finley | Sep 8, 2019
Marlena G. (redlion29) | Sep 8, 2019

No, they're definitely not open in wet weather. This area and the trails are comprised of clay, not regular dirt, so the moment it starts raining they typically close the tails and tracks. It's like riding in wet slime, not normal mud. They've had people stuck for hours in remote areas, and rescue efforts get stuck too. They're fairly slow to reopen tracks and trails until things have dried out pretty well for the same reason. The Facebook page is updated faithfully, if you follow it you'll be aware of closures and reopening real time. There's also historic posts (do a search if you're curious) explaining why they're more vulnerable to shutdown during wet weather.

Can you ride a mini bike here? Or is it dirt bike only?

Visionix | Sep 8, 2018
Peter Race | Sep 8, 2018

You can ride anything you like as long as it passes the ranger inspection, i.e. spark arrestor, emissions requirements, etc. If you have a concern, give the ranger station a call. They are super helpful!
