Big Rock OffRoad, Maysville Ky: Grand Reopening!

WrenchMonkey · 02-05-2010, 02:24 AM

As of March 6th, Big Rock will be reopening their whole 2000 acres to all rigs: jeeps, toys, zooks, trucks, whatever. It's been years since they let our fullsize rigs in to play, and even then we were limited to just a part of the park. Now it'll be all rigs, all trails, all the time!

(For whatever reason, 2wd buggies -vee-dubs- are still out, but everything else goes)

For those that don't know, Maysville is right on the river, about 60 miles east of downtown Cincinnati. Same distance as Haspin (closer for us eastsiders!

) and nearly triple the real estate!

We'll be cutting as many trials as we can between now and then, but it's a given that a park this size will grow over time.

I'm flat thrilled about the potential, and can't wait to get started!

i was there on a quad one time and didn't see to many trails that would challenge a decent built rig. What is the potential like as i was only there a couple times.

Nope, not yet. This is a brand new development.

When I was there with my jeep guys, we were a little disappointed how smal it was: We spent all day climbing in and out of one valley/creekbed.

The terrain was cool, the hillclimbs were steep, some rocky, some muddy, but we had no idea how big it was.

Like I said, two THOUSAND acres, nearly triple the size of Haspin.

Should be great!

Potential is good. I've been there a couple times with my old Rubicon and it was a lot of fun. I haven't taken the YJ there, but with 2000 acres, I'm sure people can find some good stuff to do. There were a couple decent hill climbs and there's a pretty cool creek bed that we played in. I do know that I enjoyed it much more than Haspin.

On a side note, I really hope this place doesn't become like Haspin. Nothing against Haspin at all, I enjoy going over there, but Big Rock is a lot cleaner and the attitudes of the patrons seem to be a lot better.

Confirmed that with him today.

The insurance clause is basically a way to snag the crudest of the crude, the most obnoxious (even unsafe) rigs that most "real" wheelers would just shake our heads at.

Reasonably well-built, trail only rigs won't have a problem...

It's kind of funny, but Superlift Offroad Park in Arkansas has pretty much the same rules, including the insurance requirements.

http://www.orvpark.com/rules.asp

I think if you do a search online, you'll find that most of your organized offroad parks are the same way. Just be lucky you don't live in Washington State. All of their offroad areas were public land and your vehicle not only had to be insured, but had to be licensed as well. Killer wheeling, so nobody really had a problem with it though. Bottom line is that rules are rules. Follow them, or don't, it's completely up to the individual. I just think it's cool that there's another park opening up.
