Hey figplucker, I grew up in Albert Lea, MN and still go up there quite a bit. Were do you ride around there? Ill take my quad anywhere.

 

Not much riding around home, we usually go to either northern mn or northern wi to ride. Been to black river falls also.

 

I hear their is some nice ride areas in Iowa, but not sure where that is. Worth looking into. We have a few areas that are 1000+ acres around here but they are about 1-2.5 hours away from KC. We have 2 that are about 45 min. form us that are 300-400 acres. All are controled by the state so their is no problems with tresspassing. I also go to the Lake of the Ozarks in mid Missouri, and ill tell you what you can get on a trail 100 yrds from the lake house and not see the same area for 40-50 miles, not much mud though.

appreciate the info about MN, my brother lives in Farmington (just outside of the cities), him and his buddies ride around there somewhere but i think its north of where they live. Ill have to ask him where that is.

Not sure how far you drive to ride but finger lakes in columbia, MO is excellent 1000+ acres of everything but sand even has a nice MX track open to the public, camping & fishing also available (state park helmets & spark arrestors required), probably about 5 hr drive for ya.
