Man you are in south western Ky. You'll Have to travel a bit like I do to get to the good spots. You've got Ballance's MotoX in Bowling Green, Paddy's Bluff in Dycusburg, Triple E at the Falls of Rough, Brownsville, Peabody grounds in Cromwell. You are right about Turkey bay, it does get old after a few rides. Plus the Jeeps and trucks have the place so rutted out that trails that were once good trails are now full of rutted out mud holes. Plus it seems to get smaller and smaller every time I ride there. You are close to Tennesee, there should be some good spots somewhere close to you.

Has anyone heard of the new riding area that has opened close to Liechfield(sp)Ky? I heard it is about 2000 acres and cost is $15 a day. I have never been,just curious.

Kentuckkybackwoodsoutfitters is where my buddies have been going and that's where they are gonna hold the race. I will see if I can get them together and we go up in the next couple of weeks.

I live right by Brownsville, and Peabody. I do no tknow of any public place in Brownsville, a lot of people have land they ride on, but nothing open to anyone that I know of. Also, there is riding property in Ohio County, but you have to be a member, if interested I can try to get you some info. It is not a bad place, but a lot of the trails are tight. Last I knew if you got caught on Peabody you lost your quad, that's the reason most places are closed now. Maybe there are some places close to me that I don't know about, if so someone please post the info.

I will try to get some info on who to call next time I see the people who operate it. The Westerfield's that run the transmission shop in Ohio Co were the ones who operated it. If you can find the number to the transmission shop they might can tell you some info.

You were able to get a yearly pass for Peabody and be able to get on any of there property that wasnt getting reclaimed. Right now the Lynnville and Hopkins county grounds are closed for reclaim.

There is about 4 sand pits in the area. There are some trails. Some good hills to climb. One could have it rode in 2 or 3 hrs, but its fun to get in the pits and drag and show off and everything. Its legal to ride.
