The cliffs insane terrain in marsailles IL is a pretty good to place to wheel!!Dont think there is any place close to springfield,taylorville is only quads and dirtbikes I think?I live near bloomington IL,it takes about an hour to get to the cliffs so it would be about 2 for you.Harlan is definitely worth the drive!!

Thanks for the help i have quite a few buddies that live in bloomington. Ill have to check that place out. And yes taylorville is fourwheelers and dirtbikes only. My pops lives like 4 blocks from them so it woulda been ideal if they allowed trucks

I live and work around Springfield. We have a place in Rochester that we wheel. We also go to Hannibal, Mersailles, Attica, Harlan to name a few. What kind of rig do you have?

I will be at the Cliffs this weekend. Not as big as the badlands, but its just as cool.

Disney is to the west of you, Bird's is about 3.5 hours to the south. Too many 4 wheelers at Disney for me. Birds is not exactly set up for the 4 wheelers although some do go. Decent camping at birds too.

Hot Springs is not much further, starting to get into the half a day driving though... if you are going to drive half a day you better just plan on going to Clayton OK.
