ATV / Dirtbike Park in West Central MN

Recommended Posts

For all of you riders, there is a ATV and Dirtbike Park just outside of Appleton, MN, It's a pretty big park and I have a blast there with my Polaris Sportsman 500 H.O. It just opened last summer and I'm not quite sure if they have it open quite yet with all of the melting of snow and such. Don't want any deep ruts on the trails. The location of the park is: Take Highway 59 East out of town towards Holloway, then the park is only about a mile or two out of Appleton right by the Appleton Sprtsmans Club. I rode in there about four times last summer and it got to be more of a blast each time. I'll keep yall posted for when it opens.

If you go down there after a nice sized rain there will be quite a bit of mud for you and your buddies. They have a few different types of trails you can ride. My favorite is the big one they have that travels through the hills and trees along the outsides of the park. Then they have two more in the main park. One in the main park is a gravel trail with jumps and tight corners to let your tail end break loose. The other is an Enduro trail, thats where the mud is. Then they also have a 20-25 ft mound of clay that you can climb. Not sure if it settled down at all but I'm sure they will bring more clay in if it did. They also have a few pits dug out with a sand bottom and sand all around them that fill up 2-3 ft deep with water. Thats a blast going through them too. I'll keep ya updated for when the park opens up for the summer.

    • Sorry to hear that Duff. Will give my GSP's an extra scratch behind the ear for you guys today
    • Aw, man, sorry to hear that.  Shed some tears and remember her well.  They all take a piece of our hearts with them; some more than others.
    • yes sorry for your loss..  our dogs are always special...
    • Truly sorry to hear that duffman! I know that feeling.  Keep the good memories  
    • Chamois passed away this weekend a couple days short of her 13th bday. What a great dog to hang out with here at home and on distant adventures. Gonna miss ya big time my little big girl.
    • Sounds pretty sweet, alright. I will check them out, thanks.
    • If you really want to treat your wife (and yourself) with a remote operated trolling motor, the Minn Kota Ulterra is about easy as it gets.  Auto stow and deploy is pretty awesome.  You just have to turn the motor on when you go out and that the last time you have to touch it.   24V 80lb.  60 inch shaft is probably the right length for your boat.  They ain’t cheap - about $3k - but neither one of you would have to leave your seat to use it all day.
    • Wanderer, thanks for your reply. I do intend for it to be 24 volt, with a thrust of 70-80. Spot lock is a must (my wife is looking forward to not being the anchor person any more).  With my old boat we did quite a lot of pulling shad raps and hot n tots, using the trolling motor. Unlikely that we will fish in whitecaps, did plenty of that when I was younger. I also need a wireless remote, not going back to a foot pedal. We do a fair amount of bobber fishing. I don't think I will bother with a depth finder on the trolling motor. I am leaning toward moving my Garmin depth finder from my old boat to the new one, just because I am so used to it and it works well for me. I am 70 years old and kinda set in my ways...
    • Dang, new content and now answers.   First, congrats on the new boat!   My recommendation is to get the most thrust you can in 24V, assuming a boat that size isn’t running 36V.  80 might be tops?  I’m partial to MinnKota.     How do you plan to use the trolling motor is an important question too.     All weather or just nice weather?   Casting a lot or bait dragging?   Bobber or panfish fishing?   Spot lock?  Networked with depth finders?  What brand of depth finders?
