ATV Trail Riding in Texas is the Weekend Ticket for Fun!

So you’ve purchased your new ATV and you’re ready to hit the dirt in Texas!  If you love the great outdoors but aren’t particularly interested in racing ATVs, there are dozens of beautiful ATV trails and parks in Texas that are waiting for you, your friends, and your family to explore.  To get you going, DFW’s ATV Discounter offers this quick Starter Kit of sorts to new off-highway enthusiasts.  First, a few great places:

• Located in near Floydada,Texas, Bois d’Arc Trails is a 68 acre park formed to provide off road enthusiasts a place in the country to enjoy nature, and ride dirt bikes, four wheelers, and off-road go-karts.  There is a fishing pond and lush meadows which provide a nice setting for camping and picnicking. Bois d’Arc Trails operates on a reservation system to keep crowds to a minimum.
  

• Rural Shade ATV Ranch calls Kerens, Texas its home and offers 1,800 acres worth of land for you to explore.  The owners recently opened the Trail Dust Cafe at the front of the ranch.

• Sulphur River Trails in Cunningham, Texas is a brand new facility with showers, Wilderness Riding, lake, and Mud Pit

• The Ranch, 10 miles south of Muenster, Texas is 3500 plus acres with the Red River running straight down the middle. The Ranch, which is privately owned, has all types of terrain including hills, flat land, sand dunes, and the Red River with all of her creeks (think MUD!).
  

The scenery at each of these great locations may be different, but the rules are the same wherever you go:

• No Riding in Restricted Areas, and stay off of all Highway slopes.
• No littering, fireworks, or firearms (uness in designated hunting areas)
• No harassment of wildlife
• Campfires at designated camp sites only, and use only dead wood for firewood.

Check with each Trail management's policies regarding use of alcohol on the property, and whether or not a Signed Release and Waiver of Liability Form is required.
 
Before taking off onto the trail for some dirty fun, ATV Discounter in North Texas recommends that you gather these items first, and try not to lose them along the trail!

• Trail maps to keep you from getting lost, and to identify where you are if  you need to call for help.
• Cell Phone and GPS
• First aid kit
• Tools: spark plugs, tow rope, tire repair kit, wire, tape, and knife
• Food and Water (always pack a lunch)
• Proper riding gear: DOT-certified helmet, goggles, gloves, boots, and long-sleeved shirt.
