Check-in is at Motorcycle Bob's, a local icon situated on_small.gif)
Highway 53 east of Fairmount. This little shop sells gas, rents
motorcycles, ATVs, and helmets, serves food, and sells various other supplies
and trinkets. The ladies behind the counter are very nice and eager to make your
visit pleasant. Once you sign the release forms and pay-up, it's a short jaunt
to Moto Mountain. As you enter the park, you will begin to see the many trails
to your left. Pretty cool!

The area has obviously been logged, and I would
assume many of the tracks are remnants of old logging trails. The large property
is covered with snaking one-way trails that resemble motocross tracks in some
places. There are mud bogs, jumps, and numerous play areas all for the_small.gif)
powersports enthusiast. There are some places you may want to avoid with novice
riders, but for the most part, the trails are in pretty good shape and not
incredibly challenging. Don't get me wrong, when we first arrived for our visit,
I was a little apprehensive about whether the kids could handle the mud and hill
climbs, but they all came through wonderfully. It was actually a great learning
experience for them. Additionally, all trails are one-way making riding much
safer for everyone.

The environment itself is made for motorcycle and ATV lovers. There
is a culture there that, if you are not familiar, could be a little scary at
first. There is a lot of dirt and mud, and lots of machines running around, but
it's all pretty safe. In fact, we camped at the back of the property near the
Pee Wee Play Area and had a couple of nice long trails virtually to ourselves.
Note: If you are a citified yuppy that doesn't like to get your fingernails
dirty, STAY AWAY!
The folks that run Moto Mountain are down_small.gif)
to earth good-old southern country folk (and I mean that as a
compliment) that bend over backward to make sure you visit is the best it can
be. If you are camping, they'll come by and check on you, even dropping-off some
firewood if you wish. Thanks guys! You made our visit to Moto Mountain feel safe
and comfortable.

Moto Mountain is a purpose-made retreat that is designed for one
thing: riding. Yes, there are other amenities they offer like a zip line, but
off road riding is what it's all about. If that's what you seek, then you won't
be disappointed. In summary., we can't wait to go back (but we'll need to
save-up a little). We suggest a family plan.
