whats the closest place to the twin cities to ride atvs

[Dave S]

Tri-County Pit between Northfield and Faribault.

The next best place would be either General C.C. Andrews, Nemadji, or Redtop.

[Roofer]

Anyone here ridden the general CC Andrews? Have heard of it, but never been there. Seems like a quick ride from what I hear.

[Dave S]

I will post a link to the list of the trail closings, but I think there is 36 miles of trails. I've never ridden to know for sure what it's like.

[Hafnutz]

I've ridden C.C. Andrews. Not much there and pretty boring. Mostly fire roads and low maint. roads. No trails worth mentioning. Red Top near Isle, is one of the better places that isn't too far away. If you gotta haul it anyway might as well go to a place worth riding.

[Dave S]

Agreed, most trails worth riding are going to be north.

But once the trails open up, I would recommend looking into a day trip to Trout Valley and Snake Creek. The SE MN Trail isn't too far from these, but after the flooding in Stockton last year, this one might still be closed.

General Andrews isnt much to get excited about. Pretty flat for the most part and DUSTY!

Danbury, Wisconsin is another place. Not much mud, good trails, some hills, not very many signs so it hard to know where the trails go. Trails on both the MN side and WI side, 20 miles east of Hickley.

Thats what I thought I remembered about it!

The DNR description of the trail is, "Jack and red pine cover most of this forest, alongside stands of birch, aspen, and oak. These gently rolling trails provide an easy ride on fairly level, sandy soil." but then they rate the trail as "more difficult" I don't quite understand the more difficult rating, but anywhere you ride there is at least good scenery. So I just keep in mind, "A bad day of riding is still better than a good day at work!

[MNexpoler]

I'd like to add that if you plan on going to Wisconsin you'll need a trail pass which I think around 20 bucks per machine.

THe cheese dudes jacked it to 35.00 for non-residents.

It is good from July 08 to July 09.

Wow, that Tri-County pit is still open?

I went there a couple times in HS and it was a blast. (about '97)

I'm surprised it's still open but may have to contact the club and get there again.

[Dave S]

Tri-County is open to everyone. There's a new addition also. Not quite as big as the other pit and no big rocks like the original pit.

It's fun to putt around in, but I tend to get bored with the same hills after a few hours.
