A buddy and I went out to a place called Bear Creek, which is just south of Canton. www.bearcreek.us

ATV TRAILS at BEAR CREEK AMPHITHEATRE - 1 mile east of the KOA Kampground - Bring your own ATV or Dirt Bike to ride on 26 miles of marked trails on 180 acres, 250 Ft. hill climb, track, woods and creeks. Helmets are required. No children under age 8 permitted to ride.

My buddy brought his Yamaha Banshee. We got there at 12:00, and didn't leave until 4.


Here we are, at the top, about 30 minute into riding. Both quads were clean when we got there.

My batteries died on me after that. I went to the store and got some batteries and took these last 2 pics of the quad in the back of my beater truck before I washed it off.

It's not a bad track, a bit rough, but not bad. It's $12 to ride all day, which is well worth it. It's not huge though, but there's some fun and tough trails to ride.

We were 2 of a total of 5 people that were out there.

EDIT: Yes, it's open to the public.

A couple of my friends and I went on Black Friday. The track is rough. There as some fun trails but after an hour or 2 you ahve rode them all. Its would be fun to take a trip there if you're close. I only live about 15 miles from there so its a quick trip. But driving over an hour wouldnt really be worth it. IMO

Nice pics, but you call that a hill? You need to come to Pa and do some riding.

That hill used to not be recessed into the hill, it came out to where the sides are and man was it a doosey. I'm pretty sure they carved it into the hill b/c of the fact that so many people had not made it to the top and ate it.

That hill wasn't all that bad in it's current form, but I wouldn't want to ride up if it were much steeper. I'm still a rookie hillclimber.

It was fun for the $12 we spent. There's not a lot there, but there's enough to keep me and a buddy busy for a couple hours. It was my first time in some good mud with the 400EX, so it was really fun for me.
