They are having a sand drag race this weekend and i am wondering how good ofa place this is to ride .It is near alto tx and about two hours away from where i am .

 

I've never been there either. I am about 3 1/2 hours away and wonder how big the place is and if it is worth the drive? Are there mostly 4x4 ATVs there or are there good trails for fast sport ATVs?

 

its about 2 miles north of alto...if your coming from the south...will be on your left hand side...there is a big white sign....im not sure how much land is there but its quite a bit...and yes scooby lots of trails high and dry...LOTS of hills on one end of the place...i think it is better suited for sport quads since it has so many jumps and such

 

I have been there a couple times and going back agains ome time in April. It's great for anybody. The 1st 1/2 of the day I rode with a friend on a dirt bike doing the tracks & hills, the 2nd 1/2 rode with 4x4's on trails and mud. If it doesn't rain there isn't a lot of mud, but there is still mud, and some that is really thick...

I need to find the date of when I am going again, maybe some other guys can go too and we can meet up. I am anxious to see that 650 in person, besides just at the dealer. By the way, we live in Austin, and it's worth the drive. We usually get there Friday afternoon/night and leave Sunday afternoon. Good camping and everything, including water.

 

I forgot to mention....this place is open 24/7....so if ya like to ride with noone around go in the middle of tha week.....but me i like ridin with lots of people around...just my preference....so i wont go until they have another big organized ride....i didnt get to see the trucks or jeeps out there playin in the mudfield so i guess i will have to go there to c it one day

 

Hey guys, save me some time looking aty my map. Where is Alto?

 

Alto is in between nacogdoches & palestine. From houston take highway 59 north to lufkin . 69 to alto .

 

How muddy do you think it will be there this weekend on the non-mud trails after a week without rain? Is there anything special going on? How many sport ATVs (banshees, 400EX, etc) do you typically see there at one time on the weekend?

 

One other question, is there a hotel nearby incase I don't feel like camping out for the night? How far is the nearest gas station, store, etc.? Should I bring both dune tires & dirt tires?

 

Does Shiloh Ridge require a spark arrestor?
