Last Known Status

Open (Open During Select Weekends)

Once a potato farm, owner Danny Kelly turned this property into the largest offroad park in the state open to trucks, ATVs, Jeeps and swamp buggies. Mud bogs, several ponds, a separate ATV course, a 500' oval mud track and some woods trails make up this 880 acre paradise.

The park is only open during select event weekends. Weekend and day passes are available. Primitive camping is permitted for no extra fee.

The park features a unique drive-through spray wash along with concession stands and parts/repair vendors. Note that this park is for ATVs, UTVs, buggies and 4x4s only. Motorcycles and three-wheelers are not permitted.
