I have not been on here that long but I am a Texas rider as well from Grand Prairie. We are always looking for new places to ride. Too bad Texas does not catch on like Oklahoma & make some state parks to allow ATV's. All Texas knows how to do is complain that their parks are going broke. DUH just add some ATV trails & watch them grow. Do yall have any favorite places to ride? We go to Lake Murray ATV park & Muenster. When we have time we go to Little Sahara State Park in Waynoka Ok. We may try Sulpher River Trails this coming weekend in East Texas. Also plan to try out Rural Shade as well. We have a couple of four wheelers but they usually sit idle since we just bought a Yamaha Rhino 660. It is a blast.

 

Try Barnwell Mountain Recreational Area in NE Texas. About 1,800 ATV acres.

We are planning our first outing/trail riding/camping with our Rhino. We are seriously considering Mud Creek Off-Road Park near Jacksonville, TX. Website says 3,700 acres of trails, plus lots of camping areas and support facilities. Any comments will be appreciated.

Some of our friends are planning to be there for New Years. They tell me the place is very fun. I think it will be too cold for me though. I am a summer kind of person. If it is cold I want to be dry, not muddy & wet.

Thank you for the suggestion. We went to Rural Shade ATV Park in Kerens a couple of weeks ago. It was fun & we plan to go again soon. The trails are wide enough for the Rhino's. Some of the trails by the river are shut down for hunting season but we found some trails to ride away from the river. They are supposed to have a big New Years Eve ATV Rodeo along with a live band. Sounds fun but it is supposed to be cold outside for New Years Eve so I guess we will miss that and find something indoors to do. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img]

 

Barbara, Thanks for the quick reply. I am of the same opinion. I have no desire to be cold, especially wet & cold. I was thinking about early March, for our first try. They have a national meet scheduled for the last weekend in March. I am planning on trying to be there the week before or two weeks before. My wife does not enjoy being in large groups, so I am hoping the weather will be moderate/tolerable and the park will be more lightly populated before this big event. I need this to work as I will be riding alone afterwards, if it does not.

 

Terry, Good luck with the wife. I hope she likes it. I love ours & try to drive it whenever I can talk my husband into riding with me driving. We have had four wheelers for a long time but I love this side by side. We went to the dunes in Waynoka Oklahoma ( Little Sahara State Park) with it for Thanksgiving. That was a blast.

 

I'm looking forward to riding at Waynoka. We are moving (retiring) to just a few miles southwest of Waynoka in 2009. My wife's family all lives in the area. Now that I have the Rhino, I will take it along and have something to occupy my time during visits this next two years. From reading the various forums, Little Sahara seems very popular. The last time I rode in the sand was in 1968 and that was a trials event (on a 150cc m/c) in Wisconsin. I vaguely recall burying the front wheel , after cresting the top of a hill, then going headfirst down about a 700 foot drop off......(and eating a lot of sand). Hopefully, the Oklahoma dunes will be a bit easier to negotiate.

 

I would love to live in Oklahoma myself. Some of my husbands family is in Woodward & most were raised in Snyder & still own two farms in Snyder. You have to be real careful in the dunes. I think I have seen ambulances there every trip we have made. People fly over the dunes & land wrong on the bottom of the other side, or hit head on with someone coming up the other side. You just have to be very careful & watch for the orange flags that you are required to have on the ATV's. We went through the sand pretty good with the stock tires on the Rhino but we did have to go to 4 WD at times. We have paddles on the ATV's because none of ours are 4WD.
