does anyone know of any good riding places near central illinois. the badlands is a great place that i have already been to?

and has anyone heard of chucks atv park in pekin, illinois? is it a good idea to get a membership there?

 

I live in Taylorville, IL and there is a place called South Fork Dirt riders. I think it's like $12 or $15 a day to ride. 500 acres. I haven't been out to the trails, but the track is decent. I have a place I ride near carlinville, 2000acres along MaCoupin creek. It's private but tons of people have permission to ride there.

 

there is an ATv park by atkinson,IL gobhill i believe. they are open on demand durring the week and open many weekends. gobhill.com

 

There's the Badlands in Attica Indiana, St Joe State Park in Park Hills MO, Rock Port off road area near rockport, South Fork Dirt riders in Taylorville, A place down by Coulterville, Little Egypt down by harrisburg. Just some ideas, Where are you meaning as Central IL?

 

Near Peoria

Hello,
I am in Illinois, Yorkville to be exact. I just moved up here about a year and a half ago and moved here from the Peoria area. We ride in Marseilles at the cliffs. It is the best place that I have been to in Illinois to date. There is a place south of you near Astoria but I haven't been there yet. There are more near Pittsfield, and Winchester I do believe. The riding park in Pekin is very small and geared for sport quads if that is what you have. I ride a 700 Griz so it would not be a place for me. I think there are more smaller areas not terribly far for you just to the south. Come up and give the cliffs a shot. It is $22 a day but it is extreme riding IMO. There is mud as bad as you want here, and it will take you about an hour and fifteen from Peoria. Take 29 to 80 and go east to Marseilles. It is before Morris and the trails are just east of Marseilles. I would be surprised if you didn't love it.
