    We have been riding there since they opened 15+ years ago. I thought my kids to ride there. That being said we find new single track every time we go out. They have the best staff and everything looks the best it has in many years! Go ride!

      It really was like nothing else we ever had ridden at coming from the New Jersey area so we definitely will be back there again even though they did raise their prices and I know there’s a lot of changes that happened since we were last there. Thanks for watching! Glad you enjoyed!

      Highland Park KTM World is probably better. Iron Mountain is just as hard packed as Durhamtown, if not more. Plus they don't maintain their trails at Iron Mountain at all, as well as their lone MX track. I do love Iron Mountain, but it's not well maintained. Highland Parks trails are in way better shape, and it is not hard packed like Durhamtown and Iron Mountain. Istarted if at Iron Mountain, and was biased, but once I went to Durhamtown and then Highland Park, my bias went away.

      @@TheBeatenTrail thats only part of the reason. There was another way more preventable incident late last year, 2021. They were doing maintenance on a trail/track, and it wasn't busy. They didn't put up any trail closed signs, nor any warning signs. The were trimming back some tree limbs. A man and his son were riding their SXS and went down the trail, not knowing it was closed. The trimmed one limb from a tree, and it just so happened to hit the SXS as it was driving by. The limb impaled the father, and he bled to death in front of his son. That is the other deciding factor in them closing. They have since reopened under different management and name.

      @@Eastsidegeorgiaboy yes, i have been there many time. and it you read my comment, i said "all track style and not real off-roading"... what i meant by that is, everything is smooth, flat, fast track style "trails" (more like dirt roads). there is NO challenges or anything that is considered off-roading. but everything is just dirt trails on relatively flat ground (more like dirt roads).
      but yes, you are correct, there are 6,000 acers of trails and single tracks, but this place is in central GA (piedmont), so nothing that i would call "hill climbs" or anything even remotely challenging.
      if you like dirt tracks, its a great place, but it is very different from what i would call off-roading. try visiting a place like windrock tn. which is 73,000 acres of serious off-roading in the mountains of east tn. windrock doesn't have such smooth roads and single tracks like this place.

    Overrated park for SxS’s. Other than the GP track the trails are like riding on hard packed roads. Also, when they get a decent rain they close down half of the trails in “in order to prevent having to perform trail maintenance.” We had that happen to us on two separate occasions. Day passes are way too high. Indian Mountain, Iron Mountain and Top Trails offer a lot more diversity in trails as well as being reasonably priced. Also, negative for this park is absolutely no night riding.

    • @TheBeatenTrail

      Top Trails is near Talladega. About a 2700 acre County owned park. It is on an old WWII ammo storage location with around 130 old ammo bunkers. Good mud when wet and also has some decent mountain trails. Really nice campground and also has primitive camping. Imo, Indiana Mountain in Piedmont, Alabama is the best park south of Tennessee.
