I was just wondering if any of you guys were from Missouri. Where's the best spots to ride?

 

i haven't made it to finger lake yet so i can't say anything about that but i've been to deep water many times. its fun but its rutted out real bad. on the plus side its only 1 and a half ours away for me. now if you want some real places to ride take sept. 25-29 off and bring the kiddies and the wife (if there is one) and go to oklahoma with us. your raptor and its little brother would sure have some fun. what town do you live in? if close to clinton, mo. we are going to deep water this sunday also.

 

I ride at a few spots around Arnold, MO near my sister's house and north of Kirksville, MO at my grandpa's farm. And depending on where in MO you mean, Midwest Power in Keokuk, IA has a 500 acre ATV/dirtbike park about 10 miles into IA just off highway 61.

 

What part of Missouri are you from, I am near the bootheal.

 

White347LX,
I see you are from Davenport, so am I. Where do you ride at around here? What is it like at Midwest Power in Keokuk, IA? Have you ever raced any of the harescrambles? I just heard that there is about 20 miles of trail in Argyle,Ia (2Hr South??)next to a railroad track. Have you ever been there? We go riding in Belmont (by Platteville, 1Hr45Min), Black River Falls(4Hr), Ashland(8 HR,never run out of trails or Beer),Wi. We even make it to (Little Sahara,11Hr)Waynoka,Ok and Glamis(30Hrs),Ca. We should hook up sometime.

 

I ride at Bussey which is about an hour north of Missouri. It's about the best riding in Iowa.

 

I'm from Jefferson City. The only places that I know of is a MX track and trails in Fulton, a new MX track in Rolla, and Finger Lakes but I haven't been there yet.

 

I live about halfway between the bottom of the bootheel and ST. Louis. The most popular place for guys in my area to ride is St. Joes state park around Farmington. I have heard the best riding in Missouri is at Chadwick. I am trying to plan a trip out there.

 

Chadwick is cool if you like serious trail riding. Mark Twain has several good riding area's including Glade Top and the Shell **** area. If you ride at Chadwick either have skids or 22 inch tires or just watch for the rocks there are some big ones out there but there is 125 miles of trails to ride and new improvements are being made. Most of Mark Twain area is open if you buy a permit and ride on numbered gravel roads and logging trails. And if your lucky you might get to see one of the bears that are in this area.I haven't been to Finger Lakes yet but we are intending on giving it and sahara a shot this year. Plus the Devils Den area in Northern Arkansas.

 

FASTRAPTORMAN, I generally ride at Solon, at a coworker's place by Dewitt, in Moline or near my parents' house around Burlington. I went to the Midwest Power place once, but it was rutted pretty badly and would have been alot more fun with a big four wheel drive four wheeler. Do you ride off S. Concord street in the winter? I spend alot of time out there when the water is low enough or it's frozen.
