Trails open from 9:00am-6:00pm

$5.00 per passenger over 12 yrs.
Must have TRAIL PASS $5.00 for one year
(Pass is a Park Decal)

2010 will be a great year for local off road enthusiasts. Over the last few years great off road riding areas have been closed. Livingston, KY OutBack Adventure Park, Most of Slade, Buck’s Run MX Park, and Hills and Hollers were all great riding places and each had something different to offer. We have wheeled throughout the US and must say the best place to Offroad is right here in Good Ole Kentucky. With the help of some fellow friends, it was decided it was time that folks within 1.5 hours of Lexington, Louisville, and Cincinnati have a great place to enjoy their off road toys.

Dirty Turtle OffRoad (DTOR) trail system accommodates full size vehicles and anything 4x4. The trail system offers a full day of riding regardless of your experience. We have trails for those in stock vehicles and for those who have just starting riding or driving their ORV’s. Trail system also has trails that will test the rig of rigs. Some no one will accomplish….. 
Park currently has riding open for 4x4’s, ATV’s, MX Bikes, 6X6’s, and side by sides.

DTOR is located on what used to be Buck’s Run MX park. DTOR will have 270 acres of prime offroading and trail enjoyment. Once the trail system is open, DTOR will focus its efforts to repair the existing MX track….although several promoters have shown interest in using the track and modifying it for a Truck Challenge obstacle course…..

From January until the grand opening April 10th, DTOR will be laying out the trail system. DTOR will be reaching out to various clubs to come in and help and exchange for various incentives plus be some of the first to be part of the preview party!!!

Our commitment is to make Dirty Turtle Offroad the perfect getaway for all of you.
We look forward to wheeling with you this year!

Ideally we would love to have access to 700 plus acres for an offroad riding area in a no zoning county, but I think everyone will be very surprised to see just how many trails and obstacles can be laid out on nearly 300 acres. Thank you for the support!

is this the old mx/atv area across from Saddleback East?
I was a member at saddleback and if the land is as tough at dtor as it is at s-back, this should make for some fun wheeling.

DTOR is in fact located on the former property known to many as "Bucks Run MX Park and is VERY close to the private S-Back club riding area. You are indeed correct that the terrain is insane to say the least. While there is alot of trails for stock and modified rigs, there are also some crazy trails that are so steep and rocky and off camber it should make for some great trail stories to say the least.

This property was never open to 4x4's only atv's and MX's. DTOR will allow anything offroad to enter the trail system as there will be seperate trails and shared trails for all three riding groups.

Look forward to seeing you on opening day!!

Can't wait to try some new local obstacles. Our club, (High Clearance Offroad), is based out of the Mammoth Cave area and I'm sure the rest of the members would be happy to lend a hand clearing some trails.

I went up and checked the place out this past weekend at the "trail cutting daze". It is very well laid out considering it is only 270 acres. We were able to cut about 4 trails and saw potential for many more. (I will be back if they ever let us cut trails there again) Lots of good hill climbs, and valleys that are going to get much more interesting as they get some traffic on them. There are a couple of waterfalls that have mutiple lines up them to challenge just about any rig. There are some mud holes and a old dirt bike track that is a blast to play on. Going over whoops and jumps made for a dirt bike is all kinds of fun in a truck or buggy. I did not see a lot of extremely hard core rock crawling there yet, but the potential is there as some of the washes erode away a little bit. It definitly had enough trails to keep a group busy for a full day if not a couple of days. I plan on going back at least a couple of times a year. It is definitly worth checking out if you live in the Louisville, Cincinnatti, Lexingtion area.
