Fox
Valley Off
Road
A family riding park.
They have woods, a small MX track and a kids track.
Kids track is near the parking lot so it's easy to keep an
eye on the little ones. They have lots of trails for
the amount of acres they have. The trails are
friendly, but the hills can be more of a intermediate to
advanced rider. One thing they don't like is loud
pipes, so if you have a loud pipe you may be asked to either
quiet it down or go home.
Daily riding is $20 per person.
Fox Valley off Road is located in Wedron just North of
Ottawa. (Click the name above for there website and
directions)
They have about 105 acres

Honey Hole
Adventures
People can stay at one of 3 lodges that
offer fully equipped kitchens, baths and cable TV, just like
home. They are all air conditioned and located in very
beautiful locations. In addition to riding there is
excellent fishing in the area and all the lodges are already
set up for bonfires at night with plenty of cut wood already
there. Greg will be offering 3 day packages that include 3
nights stay in a lodge for $250 a person. The riding
experience should be wonderful and all the riders will feel
like they are on a totally private trip the entire time.
Honey Hole Adventures has trails that range in difficulty
from very easy and open to hilly, watered, wooded, muddy and
challenging. The initial acreage will be about 3,000. They
can accommodate a small group of 2-3 and larger ones of 20.
Because this is a start up and the idea is to keep it
totally private if there are 2 separate groups on the same
weekend they will be in different lodges and be riding
different spots so they never have to see each other. Of
course if a big group wants to ride together that is fine as
well. Horseback riding is also available in the area. They
will see abundant wildlife such as deer, turkeys, ducks,
geese, coyotes and everything nature has to offer in this
timbered farmland country. There are numerous excellent
restaurants in town that offer affordable dining as well.
They will have discounted rates in place for my customers at
a few local restaurants. They may add a trap and shooting
range eventually but not to start because of the liability.
People simply need to fill out the form send a $50 deposit
per person and they can book a 3 day weekend or weekday
adventure.

Rock Glen OHV Park
North main and Bypass 20, Rockford, IL.
WOW! Rockford now has it's own riding area.
We just rode the new Rocky Glen OHV Park
I will say it's nice and close and beat driving 2 hrs to go
riding for 1/2 of day. The park has over 130 acres of
both sandy track to woods with lots of trees. Not a
lot of technical stuff, but enough to keep most people
happy. They have a small motocross track for kids next
to the parking area and a big track down in the middle of
the lake they have there. Yes, they have a lake, which
could be a blast in winter when it freezes totally.
There is plenty of mud too, as when we were out there they
had some rain and areas were very muddy, where other areas
seemed to dry out pretty quick. The trails are marked
one way, so you won't go head on to someone.
Pricing:
Currently the cost is $20 per day with a one time purchase
of a state sticker that is good for one year.
Flags are required and are sold there.
Chucks Quad Track:
There is a new park open in Pekin, Illinois-the cost is $15
for a membership and $15 a day.
Located in Pekin-take 29 out of Pekin by the jail and then
turn a stoplight onto Manito blacktop and it is about a mile
on that road on the left hand side-they have about 25
acres-small but fun.
3 MX tracks, a Beginner, Intermediate and a Advanced, which
is pretty advanced. They also have some wooded trails
to ride on. They are open 10am till dark and closed on
Mondays and Tuesdays.
Contact them by calling 309-241-3340.

acres of trails, ranging from easy stuff to the more difficult.
The trails are marked as follows. green=beginner
blue=intermediate black=advanced. The park is located just
east of E 24th Road on Route 6.
The area is more for intermediate to advanced riders and I don't
recommend going out on the trails by yourself, as they have
areas that you get stuck you will have a hard time getting out
without some help. 4x4 quads will love this place.
Pricing:
The cost is $20 per quad
rider (kids under 16 will be $14) and $25 for jeeps. .

The Wilburn Ruffcorn
Farm
Central IL. It's private property that is
owned by a man named Wilbur Ruffcorn, but it is
open to the public 365 days a year. Most privately
owned places shut down to ATVs when hunting season
comes in. Mr. Ruffcorn doesn't. There is
approximately 400-500 acres of riding area
intermixed among his fields. There are lots of
hills to climb, plenty of mud to play in, a nice
big rock bottom creek to splash around in, and even
a little sand to roost. Not sure how many miles of
trails because it is spread out over such a big
area. It's a lot of fun though, and a great place
to spend a day riding. The charge is $10.00 per
person, although he has been known to give
"special" family rates. He has discounted rates for
2 day (primitive) camping also, usually $15.00.
The place is located about 2 miles south of
Loraine, IL. From Hwy. 61, turn South on County
Road 1500. Follow it about a mile, where it will
turn to the East. Another 1/4 mile to the first
house on the right. There should be a small sign by
the driveway. Pull in and stop at the house.
