Off road area in Oxford Ohio

[comanchedude]

Hey I was told about a place in Oxford to go wheeling by a guy at work. never knew there was such a place in Oxford?..so I had to check it out and it turns out its a really cool place we only wheeled for about 4 hours but there is tons more tails to be run. we had a blast I will post up some vids..so far it is about the same terrain as haspin for the most part. they charge $10.00 it has mild and some fairly tough stuff. we only covered small portion of the trails.

it was very small when i checked it out a few years back.

[kyrel69]

is this the olf white cross fram??

[jfiscus]

Went there YEARS ago, it was alright, tight trails. A buddy flopped his XJ there on that trip...

I'm sure it has changed & we did not see that ledge in the video while we were there.

[HumminNBoatin]

I would totally like to check this place out on the quads. What is the deal there? Is it an actual offroad park? How big or small is it? like in acres???

Dont know how big it is for sure yet, the person who took the money claimed it was 250 acres of trails he also said 60 miles of trails?? maybe he ment there was 60 trails ?..that I can see on the map. I have the google map link above so you can view the area. I wheeled at DTOR couple weeks ago and found the trails their to be much tighter compaired to this place. but all this is subjective of course. it seems faily large area. but it is another place to wheel and very close to me , like 15 min or so. thats a big deal for me and I will go back in couple weeks as we had tons of fun and it seems like there are hours of trails there. on my way out I did meet a group of guys with trailered jeeps that just arrived, they tell me I only scrached the suface and they told me about many trails ,climbs and mud holes that we didnt get to yet. bottom line we liked it and will go back .you just go there and drive back the road to the clearing and there is a house and barns. you pay them $10.00 and go wheeling. just a private wheeling area that from what I understand has been in use for over 15 years. its about 4 miles out of Oxford on 732, on the right side of the road, right at the county sign.

[94Dodge Truggy]

it is white cross farms.

[SixFtUnd]

I would like to check it out let me know when you are going back

[jfiscus]

Stay out of the fields! (lol)

When you go back let me know; if I can trailer my Jeep over (no tags), I'll come along.

[Big_O_XJ]

I am in as well, I am in Middletown also. I have went to school at Oxford (by school I mean getting Drunk off my arse 24/7 for a couple semesters!!!!) and never heard of it?

[kyrel69]

so do you just show up and there is someone there all the time or do you need to call someone?

[SixFtUnd]

yeah last time I heard about it you had to call and set it up is it still that way?

[comanchedude]

yeah last time I heard about it you had to call and set it up is it still that way?

The guy there said they are there 7 days a week and you can come anytime.
you have to be out before dark, also the guys I talked to that day said they come up durring the week and run. so with that I have to say you can go any day any time. no calls requierd.

[scotty85]

its been awhile since i been there,but i cruised over in my xj and scouted it out alittle to see if it looked to be worth draggin the trail rigs over on trailers. even back then i thot it looked like it would be a good time. i followed some kids on quads for a little while but decided to not go too far in since there were no othre trucks there at the time.

that creek in the videos definately looked sweet. this hill was cool,too,tho the pic doesnt do it justice:

the line to the left was a real steep ledge at the bottom,idk if it was even doable,lol. the line to the right might be doable if you arent afraid to run over some small trees ;)

and a couple other that are still up on my photo bucket

[Coppertop]

Excellant ,I'm ready to go check it out...

[HumminNBoatin]

I am thinking about hittin' it on the quads this weekend...

[chris_dishmon]

let's get some people together and get out there. i'm off on sundays if anyone is going out there then.

[HumminNBoatin]

I went out there last weekend with my son and father. It was fun on the Quads. Really its a great place to take the family for some easy riding. Not really all great for trucks from what I can tell. They have 208 Acres accoring to the owner but I would be willing to say 2/3 of it is crop fields that are off limits.

I will no doubt go back as its close and my 10yr. old son and my 60yr. old dad can run it.

[jdgreen]

anybody taking quads

[hotrod]

how much is it to get in? is there room for trailers? what about waiver forms for my underage brother??

[xplorer55]

I will be going here on the quad next week. Video and pics will be posted. If you want to join me txt or call jesse 5133933481

[93 Krawler]

I've been there about 4 times. I was told the name was Shelton's Farm. Don't take anything you don't want scratched up real bad. Some of the trails are very tight. If DTOR is worse than this, I'll make sure I don't go there. There are some good hills, and the creek is alright. It's not very challenging for a capable rig, unless it's muddy. If I wasn't 25 mins away, I wouldn't go there. It's cheap and close to me. It is small, mostly farm land...

This is where I got the Cliff Diver name. We were coming back up the creek and went up this little hill to the left of the S bend and ended up dropping back in the creek from a 10' to 12' drop off. :eek: I was lucky the truck didn't flip over. I somehow punched the gas when the truck hit nose first and ended up on all fours. :thumbup: I told the owner someone is going to get killed there, so he dragged a bunch of trees in front of it.

No waivers. Tool Man got his semi and 52' trailer in there, so there is plenty of room for trailers. It's 10 bucks a person. No bathrooms, just the great outdoors...

[race10]

I was wondering who went off that. That's a heck of a drop.

[93 Krawler]

I still cringe when I think about it. LOL. It's a very weird feeling when the land dissapears and you start falling... Going up the hill all we saw was sky, then all we saw was the bottom of the creek bed. :eek:

[race10]

Good times. I saw you out there a while back. You and a guy in a black truck with no bed on it. He said it was one of he's first times out in it. I was in a side by side back by the water fall down from your ledge.

[jfiscus]

I went in that same creek years ago following another jeep & he ended up on his roof off that cliff. Pretty scary with no roll cage! Came down in the creek right behind me... wow, just figured out that was 6 years ago! http://www.terrainstompers.com/photos/main.php?g2_itemId=191

Driver of that jeep was ok, had a goose egg, but otherwise pretty good shape for the roof being at dash-level.

He was riding with me day we went over the ledge. I'm still amazed I landed on my wheels.

[gothodgie]

yea that would be a big surprise...:eek:

[race10]

There was some people out the night riding awhile before that that went straight off it in the center of the bend in a basically stock k5 and destroyed it. I don't think they fared as well as you did.

[jfiscus]

yup, same spot, coming up out of the creek at the top of your pics; then making an abrumpt right "turn".

[94Dodge Truggy]

Went there yeasturday in the ice and snow and had a great time. The conditions made it challenging and the trails were not as narrow as it is in the spring and summer months.

[race10]

Dang. If I would have known that I would have come down and rode some. I only have a side by side right now but I try not to get in the way. one of these days I might get my rig done and I'll definitely have to get up with everyone on here.

[race10]

Might b taking the side by side out Sunday if I can find anyone else to go.

It's gonna be a muddy mess, I'll pass.

[race10]

Come on now. It won't be in a cab.

[JeffK5]

Come on now. It won't be in a cab.

I saw your post and tried to get my buddy with S-B-S to come join ya but he wasn't digging the idea of calf deep mud.. puss.

I also meant to tell you I saw your buddies rig on PBB for sale... that is one bad mofo!

Jeff

[race10]

Rubber boots are cheap. And ya I can't wait to see what he builds. Did you notice the really good looking guy on the right in like the third or forth pic down.

[93 Krawler]

Come on now. It won't be in a cab.

True, but it's barely fun dry. Takes too long to clean my rig off. I hate mud...

[smokinsrt]

I never thought my account was activated on here so I haven't been on here in awhile. I'd meet up and go out to Sheltons some time for something to do nobody ever wants to go there, I don't mind it doesn't take 15 minutes to get to.

[race10]

Ya just let me know I'm just right down the road. What part of Hamilton are you from.

[smokinsrt]

West Side

[race10]

Has to be Chris. Right.

[smokinsrt]

Yes sir, this Joey?

[race10]

Yep. Pm your number next time we go out I'll give you a call.

[Nuts]

I was there about 5 years ago and drove up the waterfall in the creek, that seemed to be the best obstical there, but it'd be a fun place to take the kids and goof off for the day...

[93 Krawler]

There are a few decent hills. The one hill with all the roots growing out of it is the only one I didn't make it up. It'll keep you busy for a few hours, then you get bored.

[race10]

I know about every trail and hill out there just let me know when you guys go out and as long as I'm not working I'll come down and see if I can't find something you haven't hit.

[xplorer55]

I went today aug 28th 2011...well I think its the 28th. 8 hrs on the trails and didn't see the whole place. I saw a lot of crazy **** out there. I thought there was a lot of challenges. And some one chopped and widend a lot of the trails also got on a few that looked new. This is a good spot. Ask the locals about the sami that wheelied threw a huge mud hole :) I had to convince them samurais weren't junk! They were all saying that was the coolest **** they ever seen n talked about it all day lol. I like this place I'm in hamilton its close to me. 8 hours n not once I got bored and there was a crap load of crazy hills n mud holes... go out there and check it. My buddys full size chevy 4x4 even fit on the trails with ou much issues. Id say 7 out of 10 and haspin n bigrock are 10s. If your within an hour of thisp place id recommend it... address for it below n number. Call or txt jesse 5133933481 that's me I'm always wanting to go out there. I had a blast.

No crosses now just a sign that says big maple farm...

[toxicwaste29]

I just went here today. The trails are only narrow in a few spots. Wayne passed away so it is now his brother Arron i believe was his name. Had a blasts except for me almost rolling my jeep. Although small vehicles like jeeps can fit on the trails, it mostly seems like an atv or side-by-side trail setup.

[xplorer55]

It must seem big to me cause I'm in a samurai lol... I like it. Next time get ahold of e I go out there alot

[WrenchMonkey]

Bump.

[93 Krawler]

:rotf:

[JeffK5]

Anybody been out there...still open? Crazy ownership/operator?

They've got multiple facebook pages that seem to be batteling ..one claiming to be the authentic park web site and the other seems to be the old owners/operators trying to submarine any success the new management might have?

My son got a new ATV and he's looking for a close (30 min.) and easy place to motor around and get his feet wet.

Any info..or would you just avoid that train wreck at all costs?

[kyrel69]

yes still crazy stuff going on there. Two different people saying they have the rights to the place and have Facebook pages up for them too

[JeffK5]

Yeah..I'm not a bookofaces guy so a borrowed my wife's to read the drama..it's messed up.

After reading all the s*it from both parties it's pretty obvious there are plants making comments for both sides on both pages...it's like a Pirate thread.

[JeffK5]

For fun I called both palaces....first phone number 526-6871 was the previous caretaker..he was nasty..pissed ..and said he has nothing to do with BMF anymore.

New caretakers number..593-1991..guy wouldn't answer..I leave message ..he calls back and acts like he wanted to fight me and tells me his number has no affiliation big maple farm..:laughing:

[93 Krawler]

I took the rzr last summer with my neighbor and didn't have any problems. A girl came out to get our money.

[JeffK5]

I took the rzr last summer with my neighbor and didn't have any problems. A girl came out to get our money.

Group of kids I work with went there 5/6 months ago and said no management of any type was there...just pulled in an road most of the day before some dude showed up and charged them all $10. They where all drinking so he made them all ..get this..hold up their right hand and swear to not hold BMF liable if they get hurt! Guy then sticks the cash in his pocket , jumps back in his car and leaves.

They told me the place was covered in trash and that ratty old trailer was all opened up and looked like it was inhabited by a group of homeless people.

When I first heard the story I thought it was BS but after today I'm thinking It was the truth. Same group of kids are going out this weekend from the rumors around the shop so I'll see how it turns out for them. Right now there's no way in hell I'm letting my son anywhere near that place.
