Alt Names | Lake Perry |
Last Known Status | Open |
Open daily from dawn to dusk, this area offers a wide variety of terrain that ranges from miles of narrow woods trails, steep and rugged hill climbs plus deep mud puddles. There is a separate beginners section that has a little track with small jumps, but the park is mainly geared for experienced riders due to the primarily challenging terrain that encompasses the area.
There is no fee charged to ride but there are some basic amenities that include picnic tables with shelters. Riding is permitted during daylight hours only and while overnight parking is not permitted, there are numerous campgrounds in the area that surround the nearby lake.
This area may close temporarily on short notice during wet weather conditions or special events so call first before heading out.

This area has a lot of deep mud puddles, pits and bogs. Quads and side by sides will have a blast. Photo Submitted 11/14/2011 (Thanks!)

Most of the terrain looks like this - rugged, steep but short hill climbs with lots of mud. Photo Submitted 4/14/2015 (Thanks!)

This area has a lot of deceivingly deep mud pits. Bring a tow rope or winch, plus an extra riding buddy. Photo Submitted 11/14/2011 (Thanks!)

There are several play areas that have some small jumps where you can get a little air. Photo Submitted 11/14/2011 (Thanks!)
One of the wooded sections. Some chunk rock here and there with some fallen branches make it a little more challenging. Photo Submitted 9/2/2013 (Thanks!)
Some trails break out of the woods and into grassy fields. Photo Submitted 9/2/2013 (Thanks!)
