Looking for somewhere to ride in ill. that you pay per day, I know it would be hard to match the BAD LANDS or FLAT RIVER in MO. but I'll take anything.

Goooooooood News if you like mx! I can hardly beleive it! The mx track in channahon, IL has been sold and to who else but a 400ex rider/racer. Now we have went to no time on track to four (count them!) four times a week. I will have to double check the days but I it is something like this: Tues. atv's & bikes Thurs: atv's & junior bikes Sat & Sun: atv's & bikes? It will be $25 a day because the increased insurance. I hope everybody comes out and shows their support, we don't have too many places to go in IL. As far as Legal trails we are screwed!

Trail of Tears Lodge. $10 per day. One rough, not well maintained natural up & downhill motocross track. Rest is trails. Only been there once. It is off of Route 3, Jonesboro, IL. I frequent St. Joe a lot, only been to Trail of Tears once. Not my style of place. I ride a highly modified banshee, like open areas of St. Joe. Trail of Tears website is www.TrailofTears.com. Their e-mail is TTLSR@midwest.net.

I have heard of the Trail of Tears but never what it was like there. Thank you for posting a review. I'm down that way pretty often and just never made it over there. I have to go now..Thanks again.

Bong Rec Area. In burlington Wi, is where i got. its about 30-45 min over the IL/WI border. Has 8 miles of trials. like 6 bucks a day. Not the greatest place to go but it is the only legal place that i know that is close. Its in the southeast corner of WI.

Has anyone heard of the Sand Bowl around Streator? I've never been there but the guys I work with go there all the time. Don't know anything about it. Might as around and see what's out there.
I personally go to Pembrook. It's not to big, but close. And hard to find.

2FiftyX: the track your taking about, is that Carpies? Or is there another track in that area?
