Finger lakes is the arm pit of the atv world. If you want a great place to camp and ride really nice gromed trails try Suttons Bluff. It's run by the forest service. The trails are awesome. Finger lakes trails criss cross each other unlike suttons bluff where you start on a a trail and come out on the end of the same trail. Do a search and find there web site.

 

Where is this Suttons Bluff? I cant find it on any of the MoStateParks websites..

EDIT: Or where is this Deepwater?

 

This page has info about Suttons bluff and Deepwater, click here Places to Ride. The forest Services web site is down this weekend. Thats why you can't find info about Suttons Bluff

 

As I said about a month or two ago . . .

If you are into technical riding that is just a bit more extreme than Deep Creek, then Finger Lakes is your place. I live very close to Finger Lakes and the place is a technical riders play pen! That said:

If you like tight trails with very little room for error,
if you like extreme angles of descent/ascent,
if you don't mind really stinky 'atomic' mud that has water been sitting stagnant for who knows how long,
if you like riding and maybe not seeing the same area every time,
if you have 2*4 or a 4*4 and know how to use it...
Finger lakes it for you.

If you don't like deep ruts full of stink or empty,
if you don't like riding trails that are tight and a tree/rock might impact you/ATV in some manner,
if you only have a sport bike and get bored with a big nice MX track,
if you don't were a helmet,
if you are looking for wide open places to open your ATV up and drag...
Then Finger Lakes ain't for you.

If anyone from the KC area (I'm in Lawrence) wants to go to Finger and find out what's it's like (and have some backup if you get stuck in a rut), several of us first-timers are going together next Saturday, Oct 7. Come along with.
