Best ATV & SxS Resort of 2018 – WILDLIFE REFUGE CABINS
Name a major riding area and chances are we’ve been there. As part of the adventure we’ve stayed in ATV friendly campgrounds, cabins, and resorts that ranged from ritzy to infested. The best offer a clean room and friendly staff, excellent local support with nearby stores for supplies or better yet a couple dealers for parts, and immediate trail access. In our travels across the U.S, Canada, and even Mexico we’ve never found a place ... Read more
FOUR-WHEEL HEAVEN
There is never a path to nowhere for an ATV rider. All trails lead somewhere, but many times the journey IS the destination. The Hatfield-McCoy Trail system has been the destination and the jumping off point for thousands of riders and their individual journeys. Some venture only to the next town. For others it is the beginning of a lifetime of adventures. TIME TESTED The Hatfield-McCoy trail system just gets better with time. The system ... Read more
ALMOST HEAVEN – MCDOWELL COUNTY WEST VIRGINIA
If you’re looking for great riding McDowell County West Virginia has it. This is why we keep coming back. We doubt Dr. Seuss was an ATV rider, but he must have been thinking of West Virginia when he said, “You’re off to Great Places! Today is your day! Your mountain is waiting, So… get on your way!” Some of the most spectacular ATV trail riding in the nation can be found in West Virginia. The most well-known ... Read more
Ride Area Review – Georgia Bound
Winter can feel like the longest season in Pennsylvania but today we were going to make our escape. We were headed to north Georgia for some sunshine, southern hospitality, and for a spring trail ride at the countries best theme park for off-road lovers, Durhamtown Off-Road Resort. A PEACH of a PLACE We rolled into Durhamtown and owner Mike McCommons was already on the porch with a glass of sweet tea. The warm Georgia air, ... Read more
Ride Area Review – Tip of the Spear
Tucked away between the majestic mountains of Lee County, Virginia is a quaint little town called Pennington Gap. What began with the tobacco and coal mining industries, today it seems a place where time has stood still or at least slowed down a bit and that’s not necessarily a bad thing. Along Main Street is an assortment of privately owned shops and small businesses, a cozy restaurant called the Country Boy Café, and an old-fashioned, ... Read more
MotoAdventures Tour – Five Days On THE Costa Rica TRAILS
We love a good riding adventure, but when Larry Larrabure from MotoAdventures called and told us about big changes to his Costa Rica trails tour, it really got our attention. For over two decades, Larry has been guiding dirt bike riders through the hills and small towns of Costa Rica, and he’s built a legendary reputation for providing an excellent experience. If there was a chance to experience it first-hand, we would be all over ... Read more
Ride Area – Burning Rock Resort
It’s not always a bad thing to be off the beaten path. Nestled outside the quaint towns of Sophia and Beckley, WV and surrounded on all sides by the Smokey Mountains, Burning Rock ATV Resort could definitely be considered well off the beaten path. That’s just the way we like it! Six years ago we had a hard time finding Burning Rock even with our GPS, but when we did what we found was not ... Read more
Special Event – Mac’s Overdrive
Saint Ignace, Michigan is a town with a history few other places can match. Over the years, it has been under the domain of at least three different countries and was inhabited by Native Americans who called the area home long before French explorers arrived. Today it’s often called the Gateway to the North, and it is both a tourist destination and the jumping off point for exploration and adventure in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula. We ... Read more
Ride Area Review – Red Riders
They move and make mountains in Northern Minnesota. The mountains are not snow covered, alpine peaks, but instead are iron ore rich deposits that are milled into mountains of marble sized taconite pellets, ship-bound for steel mills, and soon to become the steel alloys used for everything from your pickup chassis to your high-strength ATV frame. After over 100 years of feeding the country’s growth, the Mesabi Range of Northern Minnesota (often simply called “The ... Read more
Rock Run Recreation Ride Area – Rock On!
You don’t have to look far to find a great riding area in Pennsylvania, and one of the best is Rock Run Recreation Area near Patton. At 6500 acres sitting on former coal mining property, it’s big, it’s got plenty to do for all outdoor lovers, and it can be challenging. RIDING the ROCK The name “Rock Run” very accurately describes this riding area as most of the trails are quite rocky, with some having ... Read more
Ride Area Review – NORTH COUNTRY RIVERS – TRAIL & Stream
Bingham Maine is “Up North” to almost every part of the United States. Up North is a term that has come to mean much more than geography though. For many it means a cabin retreat in the woods where the water is pure, the air smells of pine, and animals roam freely. It’s a year round, outdoor lover paradise. That describes pretty much all of Maine, but especially an outdoor adventure outfitter known as North ... Read more
Ride Area Review – GET YOUR RUSH ON!
Rush Off-Road’s E.B. Lowman is a man with a vision. Last year in our visit to his creation, we got our first glimpse of his vision, and as an avid trail rider himself, he knows exactly what it takes to create an excellent off-road facility. And he’s just getting started. MORE RUSH in the MAKING This year we were able to make a return trip to Northeastern Kentucky to visit E.B. and the Rush crew. ... Read more
