Ride thru a corn field like Smokey and The Bandit!lol Just joking ... Indiana feeds a nation.Good Lord I drove up I-65 to visit the wifes family last year in Michigan , and I said good lord at the flat farms, and I remembered John Melencamp said this land feeds a nation.2-3 hundred miles of FARM! All Alabama has to offer to the nation is Cedrics.

You aren't going to see much in Indiana, Ohio or any state in the corn belt except corn and soybeans. :roll:

Haspin Acres is about the only place I know in the southern half of Indiana. I think there's a pea gravel or sand place North called the badlands. Pretty close to Kentucky so I'd head that way. Maybe Land Between the Lakes or somewhere along that path.

I ride DTOR most the time. Also some at inter lake. Both are great places but you have to have plates to ride at the lake due to it being state owned and trails run from road to road.

DD the problem is most good parks are in the middle of no-where. Kinda hard to move where theres not much work to find. Trust me, been thinkin about it for a while.

we been going to haspin since 97... approx 750-900 acres...$15 a person to get in.we ussually go once a month at least,..most of our group is about 50 miles away in cinci...about 80-85 milrs for me from batavia like it there a lot better when its a little wet...lot more challenging and keep the dust down...and if youve never been to haspin when its dry and dusty, wow you really need windshield wipers for your eyes! lol few good hills...bog and little moto x tracks...dirt drag strip...lots of woods trails a sweet trail that runs the perimeter along rhe fenceline and a main trail that runs around the place you can bust in 3rd gear!

I know haspins rules state no night riding but people do it anyways. Only been there on the two wheeler with no headlight so I never tried it. Is it just mean don't be a dummy and we will look the other way or will they bust your balls if they catch you?

Honestly I don't know how they would be I have been there probably 10 or fifteen times in the past two years and never seen any type of official or DNR out there I mean you can't do a whole lot to get in trouble if you don't get dumb and mouthy on your liquor or blaze new trails everywhere

Some of my friends go there in back haft trucks and jeeps will grill and hood only. I know 3 of them do not have tags and 2 others in not sure. They have been 2 time never any problems. Interlake has the same thing and I know they do have dnr that ride around looking but if your not on the road they don't say anything and we seen some guys get stopped in 4 wheel steer buggys they made them load them up and said keep them there till we are gone. We talk to them thay said they are there all the time and that all they have ever done. They told us the same guy made them pull up on there trailers 6 times in one day. But there is always that one Ahole cop out there.

The best riding at haspin is at night 8) They just dont want you up front riding around the office or camp grounds, keep it in the woods and the party is on... :D
