Rivers Edge ATV Park

[phreak]

anyone ever been there? apparently they have 2 tracks and 25 miles worth of trails. always looking for new places to ride.

Cabins, camping sites, & ATV park. Canaan, NH.

Hmmmmm looks interesting, I too am curious to know the opinions of anyone that has been there.

[phreak]

i'm heading up there tomorrow morning. i'll post up alittle review after i get back.

[phreak]

had a great time. the tracks aren't really that big, though. it was my first time riding on a track so i had a blast. some nice berms and decent jumps. didn't get a chance to ride the trails as i didn't have my swingarm skid plate on. but others there said the trails were nice with some rough areas. there's was quite a few people there but the tracks were fairly empty.

i am still friggin sore from hitting the tracks the whole time. never realized how much of a beating your body takes on a track. supposedly they're building a much bigger 3rd track that'll be ready in the spring (read on other forums).

i'd definetly recommend checking it out. its only $10 to enter the park. and you don't need to be registered as its all private land. i'm definitely gonna head back up and this time put my skid plate on so i can rip up the trails. we took some pics and i'll try to post them up alittle later.

Do you have to stay at the campground or can you just pay a fee to ride?

The track in those pics would be perfect to ride minis on. I only ride my YZ at Crow Hill as the sand ruts can get too deep for a mini.

[Paul_E_D]

Thanks for posting. The track looks pretty flat. Any elevation change? I think I may wait for the "big" track.

btw, I think your quad is as big as my car!

You don't see 350 twins that often anymore, nice looking banshee.

nope.. you don't have to stay at the campground. stop at the office when you pull in, sign a release, and pay $10. and that's it.

yeah... the tracks are pretty much flat and fairly small. but... it was my first time riding an actual "track" so i had alot fun.

i'm dying to hit crowhill but quads aren't allowed for the rest of the season.

thanks, man. i was thinking about gettig rid of it and grabbing a yfz. but, i decided to port the cylinders, put on a shorter swingarm, yfz a-arms, and built yfz front shocks. i'm fairly happy.. to say the least.

Yeah dude, track riding is a blast. Crow hill is awesome, but quite a bit different from that place. Bigger jumps, faster sections, and flatter turns. Plus some really nice natural elevation.

I drive a vintage mini which is only 10 feet long, so I'm serious about that one!

goddamn it, dude. lie to me and say crow hill sucks and i'm not miss anything.



what other tracks are around that have open practice days and allow quads? on other forums i've read that jolly rogers only does one or two days out of the season. i think rocky hill only allows quads on certain days as well. sucks that there's not more tracks around. well... at least none that i know of.

nice. i've heard those cars handle very well. ever take it to any road courses?

I don't have a quad so I don't know, but I know Crow Hill cut way back on it for maintenance reasons. The quads just move more earth.

The mini handles like go cart with 85HP! I haven't taken it to a road course yet, but I drive it really hard on city streets and sometimes in parking lots etc. The thing drifts incredibly well for a front wheel drive car, and has enough power and torque to pull out of a 1G cornering load. You have to pay big bucks to get that out of a modern car!!!

There's a roundabout in an industrial park near here that is like a mini NACAR track. after 6pm it's my personal test track.

holy chit...is the ground 1 foot below you? or is 8 feet below you?

[Stoneman]

My brother inlaw and a bunch of his buddies are staying there this weekend (Fri-Sun). I can't make it 'cuz it's Tovah's birthday (and I have WAY too much firewood to stack)...

Phreaky one: why haven't we hooked up? I can't get that pussy-ass brother of yours to come out with us anymore. Then again, he couldn't outrun me on the Arctic Cat, now I'll be passing him on the Rappy!

Next weekend, Saturday the 27th. Let's hit Devil's Den...

it's about 4ft or so.

i should've lied and said its 8ft.

we should definitely get together. i'm taking this weekend off from riding. i either bruised or fractured my tail bone riding a couple weekends ago. hurts like a bitch.

i'm hopefully going up to mx207 on the 28th so i probably won't go riding on saturday. but i'd be down for the following weekend.

where's devil's den? i've seen you mention it a couple times on here. how's the riding?

i've tried a couple times to get him out but he always has an excuse. he bought the friggin bike and never uses it. hopefully he'll read this and tighten up his bra strap.

[Stoneman]

Devil's Den is all right. They've cut some new trails up the mountains (Devil's Den & Caverly). You can spend a day out there anyway...

I'm gonna see if he'll sell it to me...

[bentbryan]

NOT FOR SALE!!!

Bwaaaaaaa haaaaaaaa haaaaaaaa!!!

"...get outta the fuckin' way! Get outta my fuckin' way or pick it up!"

[bentbryan]

OK, that was when we first entered the trail and I had an 9 y/o in front of me that I didn't want to run over.

Not even close. But if that's how you hafta remember it to make yourself feel better...

See you tomorrow? Kickoff's at 1:00

[SVRACER01]

how late in the season are they open? im thinking about putting knobbies back on the mini and that track looks like a perfect place to practice. is it dirtbikes and atvs at the same time on the track?
