FAQ: Off-Highway Vehicles
There are two separate trail systems totaling approximately 22 miles.
The terrain at Minooka park is somewhat hilly and rocky. The majority of the trails are intermediate in difficulty and require some riding experience. We currently have one beginner loop that is only ¾ of a mile long.
The cost to ride is per machine and one operator, extra riders are $5.00 each. Example: A SXS with four people would be a total of $35.00 ($20.00 for machine and operator plus $15.00 for three riders)
Helmets are required for 4 wheelers and dirt bikes. SXS’s with roll bars and seat belts do not require helmets
The trails are not wide enough to accommodate Jeeps and the terrain is too rough for go-carts.
Unless we have an organized night ride, riding the trails at night is strictly prohibited.
