Bordered by the Cedar River, this 180 acre property offers miles of wooded trails and two natural terrain motocross tracks. Amenities include a large flat and paved parking lot, vault toilets, a kiosk with map of the trails plus a shaded picnic shelter.

The park is open daily year-round but may close temporarily on short notice due to inclement weather so call first before heading out. Overnight parking is not permitted but camping can be found a few miles south at Deerwood Park.
