Interlake State Recreation Area — Attraction in Boonville

My 1 star review is not about the park but about the state's process you are forced to go through to obtain a permit. Essentially, you have to title and register you ORV before you are allowed to purchase the permit. The process is similar to registering an on-road vehicle and you will incur additional costs prior to the purchase of the permit. While the process is similar to that of an on-road vehicle, it does not allow you to drive on paved roads (unless your county has taken steps to allow it.) My family supports state and local parks but the money grabbing process set-up by the state is just another way of generating income. Gate entrance fees and permits to ride I am okay with since they go to the parks.
