So it's not very big or what? Again, we have utility quads so I don't care so much about jumps and all that.

It really depends on what you like to do with your utility quad. If you like steep hill climbs, then you may enjoy it. If you like mud, you may enjoy some of the holes after it rains. If you like trails, you'll be disappointed because it's probably a half mile around them. Other than that, there's sand .... and rocks. To be honest, I see most utility quads packing up within an hour after arriving. Perhaps it's close enough to where you live that you won't care either way.

All the great trails are up north, and into Wisconsin. On the other hand, Motocross "Mecca" is down here in Southern Minnesota. I wish there were more trails down in this neck of the woods.

mfreeman451, give Black River Falls a try sometime too. As you can see I am a sportsman guy also. We went over Memorial weekend and am totally loving it over there. About the same drive for me as Danbury and I think it was a better trail for what we rode on. The kids and I had a blast. I have a few more trips planned for there yet this summer. With all the rain there has to be mud over there now.b

Black Hills next week, leaving Sat, super looking forward to it.

Brian,



Do you go to the Tri-County spot a lot? I just realized that is a lot closer than anything else.</end quote></div>

You could probably at least check it out, but know that it is not a typical utility atv hot spot.

Yeah my buddy welded some spots up and we put a gusset on the shock mount everything looks good and should be strong.

Ok so I checked out the spot in Faribault.. It was a PITA to get to since hwy3 was closed but I did finally make it through on 9 and got there. I see what you mean about it not being a very fun spot for utility quads.. but I did have a little fun. I didn't do much since i was out there by myself and didn't want to get stuck or roll it.

I'm looking forward to checking out APpleton or Hinckley, or even Arkansaw.

we've talked about spider lake if we could find some connecting trails as spider lake is only 25 miles long. would take about a hour or less to ride the whole thing.

hardly seems worth the drive. danbury is closer and has hundreds of miles of connecting trails..
