Where I ride here in Missouri I pay in some way everywhere I ride. St. Joe State Park, 2000 acres, and Finger Lakes State Park, 70 miles of trails , each charge $5.00/Day. I have ridden at a private ATV park named Leerjak, really nice place, 2000 acres. It's fee is $10.00/Day. And when we ride at Sutton's Bluff, part of Mark Twain National Forest. You need a $60.00/year sticker from the National Forest Service, and a $10.00 sticker from Reynalds county ( to ride the county roads to get to the trails.)
Also, for our week long vacation at Hatfield McCoy, we had to get $50.00 non resident trail passes for each rider. Well worth the money for such a great place to ride! Over 500 miles of trails.
All said, if it's a good place to ride, it's worth paying to ride there. 100 acres sounds a little small for a place open to the public.

 

I would gladly pay to ride if there was a place to go near me with wooded trails. I wouldn't be interested at all in an open field with loops. Places to ride are becoming very scarce in this part of the country. There are a few places 2 hours away but nothing nearby. Locals are making a big fuss over "those noisy, destructive ATV riders" and the law is clamping down big time. I haven't even bothered to register my last two machines because I don't see any point in paying registration fees and taxes to the state when they give nothing back to us riders.

 

First of all, welcome to the forums and congrats on resurrecting a 7 yr old thread. I'd have to disagree with your statement regarding PA. NJ is impossible not PA. If you do a little research you'll find free state game riding through out the state. Then there are MX and trail pay parks all over the state as well. If you PM me your region and style of riding I'd be happy to send info regarding riding in PA or you could search the following: DCNR, Allegheny National Forest, Reading Anthracite (RAC), Trevorton, Rock Run, Lost Trails, Majestic Kamp, SSRT, Mountain Ridge, Rausch Creek Trail Riders (tower city), Tri-county Atv, Mines & Meadows, Kamp Kennerdell, Four Seasons Resort, Breezewood Proving Grounds, MX573, Irish Valley MX, Blue Diamond MX in Delaware. That covers all four corners of the state and central and that's just off the top of my head- there a few more! There's every style of riding available in PA, except maybe dunes. For that we substitute coal hills

 

Boy am I glad I am no a good majority of you who have to pay to ride. Nothing like having miles of open areas to ride like we do here in Co . I guess you can say i pay to ride in a park as we pay to license our ATV's $30 year per ATV but our park is the whole state anywhere in the Nationl Forest or BLM land!

 

yikes i thought california was bad. at one time you could ride anywhere, it is getting smaller and smaller by the month though. you can hardly hunt here, or fish they are out lawing everything from plastic to lead to breathing. wait, exhaling(co2), me cant use the restroom anymore too much bad gas lol. if we didnt hate each other so much and unionized lol. we could get our rights back. unless ofcourse the military was called in to stop us or kill us! just my commie cali .02
