This is the official posting of the park:
Chadwick ATV/Motorcycle Area Nearly 80 miles of ATV, motorcycle and mountain bike trails, winding in and out of deep, forested hollows and down long ridge tops, that’s Chadwick Motorcycle and ATV Area! Situated about four miles southwest of Chadwick, Missouri, from which it got its name, the Chadwick Area contains a 12 square mile chunk of rough national forest land in Ozark country. Camping facilities are close at hand for riders or other visitors.
Trails: Numerous trails leave the recreation areas for the motorcycle and ATV area. Most trails follow ridgetops or hollow bottoms; connecting trails cross side slopes. It's possible to plan a wide variety of full-loop trails without backtracking. Trail 102, a half-mile spur to Stump Spring, is the only trail on which you'll return the way you came.Wife and I have been there 5 times and have yet to see it all. The trail map rates the trails but do not trust the ratings, they are old and in my humble thoughts incorrect. This is not a day trip, as you willnot see enough.
There are bridges to cross, Ozark hills to climb IF you can, caves and just beautiful landscape to see. Town is close by for lodging as well as food or you can camp from primitive to full power and sewage.
If you like mud then your not going to find much of it here but some. Mostly Ozark rock and ledges and lots of it... It will test your abilities as we can all get stuck in a mud hole or play in some sand but put yourself on a atv wide path going up hills of loose rock and or popping up ledges on the side of a hill. Plus some easy stuff. Best part, Night Rides, oh man talk about fun.....
Tried to upload a zip file of pics but guess it was to big, it would not allow it so will send by email the pics and let you edit/ add or delete as you see fit...
