When you work hard, you deserve recreation too

The farm utility vehicle is many times the work horse of the farm. Pasture maintenance, field scouting, spraying, and transportation are just a few of the things the UV does day in and day out. It works hard, but so do you, so don’t be afraid to have a little fun with your Utility Vehicles on the weekend or vacation. These vehicles are also great to take you to your favorite fishing hole, hunting spot, or just trail ride on the and enjoy the outdoors. Here are some great spots to trail ride your Utility Vehicle around the area.

• ? Soo Line Trail, Minnesota This is a sought-after destination for Midwest off-roading. With over 200 miles of trails (and plenty more to do in the area), you’ll never get bored. Be sure to check out the Soo Line Trail - Southern Route, which stretches 105 miles through eastern Minnesota and into Wisconsin. The entire trail is open to motorized use.

• ? Black Hills, South Dakota If you’ve ever been to the Black Hills, you know there are plenty of spots wheelers dream of. The entire Black Hills National Forest is criss-crossed with thousands of miles of trails, some that stretch into Wyoming, North Dakota and Montana. Many of the towns and landmarks are ATV friendly, and many of the roads in South Dakota are ATV friendly as long as you have proper signals, licenses, etc. The most popular spots are around Deadwood and Hill City, but we like Deerfield Lake, which is less crowded and very serene.

• ? Black River Falls, Wisconsin Ride more than 100 miles through Jackson County and 135 miles through neighboring Clark County in some of the most scenic forest you’ve ever seen. The trails take you through rolling landscapes and streams, and they have municipal ordinances favorable to trail riding. This is a unique area of the Upper Midwest that won’t disappoint!

• ? Finger Lakes State Park- Missouri The parks rugged 1,100 plus acres was once home to a strip mining operation offers rugged terrain with steep hills and deep ravines, making it a perfect spot for novice and experienced riders alike. Here you will find amazing trails, combined with peaceful rolling hills making it a great destination!
