It's mostly low-lying swamp land that someone found about the only use for it- mud bogging! For a "local" park within a short drive, it's not bad. Most trails are designed for narrower ATVs and SxSs unless you don't care about serious scratches in your Jeep's paint. They need to go in with a bunch of chainsaws and cut back about 2 feet on both sides of all the trails- leaving the larger diameter stumps at 12-30" as obstacles for Jeeps... then this place would be 5 stars! There is a large, open area [maybe 3 acres] that's all sand and moguls for dirt bikes, then there's a real small rock climbing area for Jeeps- this needs to be expanded! There is a boulder course thats absolutely useless unless you own a $200,000 rock bouncer and a set of brass balls to even get through the entrance to it. Never seen anyone on it in my 6 visits. The money would've been better spent on an expansion of the obstacle course for the masses. The trails that can be enjoyed by Jeeps or other stock vehicles are full of mud holes that can swallow a VW- all but a few have go-bys, but that's why this place only gets 3 stars instead of 4. It's a fun place to visit for a couple hours in a Jeep- and then you've done everything twice... perhaps a full day if riding a dirt bike or ATV. Never go wheeling alone. Enjoy!

Excellent place. Mud is hit and miss depending on the weather, probably smart to go out with a buddy. A few scrabble areas, a mix of sand, mud, trails, and a few places to go over rocks. Just watch some of the trails in the woods if you have a larger vehicle. They can get tight/narrow in the deeper forest and be difficult to pass, especially if you are alone.

The variety of trails were great, rock crawling, mud pits, dirt bike trails all awesome. Only thing i would say maybe have a hose or something to wash off yourself. Lol we got muddy! Oh and would be cool if main trails had route signs or color code route to follow for newbies. Map was so so. We were pretty lost but was fun.

Didn't get to check out all 370 acres (320 ridable). Because I went were a should not have one without the proper gear to get out & got stuck. They let my brother in for free to rescue me. But by then, it was closing time. Can not wait to go back. It's worth more than the $15 fee. In my opinion.
