How Many Acres Are Enough
Sure it could be, but it has to be set up correctly and located in an area that can take advantage of other opportunites. For example, you could get by with 5 acres if it were located where it abuts to an established trail system. By taking advantage of the existing trails that are maintained by state and federal funding sources, you could put in a few rental cabins, or maybe a camp ground.. and add in a gas stop and snack bar and you could find yourself rolling in gold. This way, you do not have the investment in time and expenses associated with the trail system.
Many entrapanuers in West Virginia, and Utah have done this successfully
If you choose to go it on your own, contact Brian Mills, the land use editor for this web site for details on funding and expertise resources... there is a lot of funding and help available on how to set up a park and jump start your process. The blue ribbon coalition also has a full time staff member that helps people like you get started.
As for large parcels of land.. they are getting harder to find these days, and you will pay a premium price for them when you do find them. A lot has to do with location and the layout of the terrain. 100 acres of rolling hills and trees are a lot more fun that 300 acres of timber cut flat land. I know of several farmers who took basically useless land for farming and converted it over to moto-x tracks, and made good profits on weekends with them... One in Wisconsin, Illinois, Colorado, and Iowa.. and all were built on less than 50 acres
