They are opening up a 56 acre OHV park in Council Bluffs next month it will be awesome! In my backyard there is a tree farm that I ride in, it has lots of trails but gets boring after a while. Anyone know of any good private or public land to ride on?

 

56 acres?? Awesome???

Did you know in a parcel of land 1 mile by 1 mile square, there are 650 acres? You're talking less than 1/10th of a square mile?

 

my mistake it's 200 acres

 

Sorry again...the DNR website said 200 acres but i just looked at the clubs website and it said 350 acres. I don't know who to believe....

 

I believe the 300+ acres is correct. That's what it said on a sign at the State Fair anyway. There are other places to ride in Iowa. One near Oskaloosa was a coal mine before and I understand offers some pretty challenging hills. There's also a park at Waterloo and another down by Lake Rathbun. There is a some land near Cedar Rapids as well, but they let trucks and jeeps in there so you kinda have to watch out. Since Iowa is mostly privately owned farm ground, there just aren't any big tracts available. Our DNR hasn't made any trails in the state forests. The little parks are kinda fun and it does give a guy an excuse to travel.
