No I haven't ridden there, but I have read allot about it, and talked to allot of people and EVERYONE/THING says that Haspins is better. Not to mention that if you are in Cincy, Haspins is at least 2 hours closer for you. You could be at Haspins within 2 hours, I think. Don't know if you have ridden there before, but it is AWESOME!!!
If you need info, give me a holler or look for their web site. Somewhere on this board there is a link to a site that will take you there. You would just have to look through the Hapins' chats to find it.

I have been to the Badlands many times in the past year. I absolutely love it out there. I have not been to Haspin yet. The people I have spoken to about it says the Badlands are much better. So who knows, I'm sure they are both great to ride at. The Badlands I know does have a large dune area which Haspin Acres does not. Have fun where ever you go!!

Badlands are all mud. Was fun when I had a utility quad but now I think the place is not much fun on my Raptor. Nowhere to race and jump and ride aggressive. all slow swamp riding.

Yep it cost some money. The link is a good place to start. Someone said it's all mud and that is far from true. I don't have a sport ride but I spent a lot of time in the pea gravel area. It does offer something for all riders. I only saw one track if you call it that. Like I said, I'm not a sport rider but what I saw there was sad looking for a track. If you like mud, it's there. If you just like trails and no mud, you can go around the mud or avoid those mud areas. I'm not one to slam a place. If I can ride there, I'm happy.

Badlands all mud?!? I guess you missed a lot of the park.

Badlands are bad. You can kill your ATV there if you really ride it. The hills. Man, the hills. Up to 80 feet and some straight up at the end. I threw my ATV (all 600lbs of it) 15 feet into the air, straight up! I landed on the top of the hill, on my butt. The ATV came down right on its butt and than fell foward onto the wheels.

I have been to the badlands a couple of times, and would rather go to silver lake. My buddy and myself have gotten hurt. He rolled down a hill and hit a tree, hurting his back. I pulled my wrist out jumping out of the drain pipe, and it hurt for a month.

Be very careful there.
