Off-Road park - Bundy Hill?

[drasticmeasures]

Been seriously thinking about Off-Roading in the Tremor. Never been to a park, but Bundy Hill is only an hour or so away. Nervous about which trail and what exactly a stock Mav Tremor can handle. Anyone been on a trail similar to the green trail listed here? https://bundyhilloffroad.com/trails-and-rules/

Without knowing where it is or anything about it. I say go for it. Even if you just dip your toes it will be a hoot Im sure. Back before there was all these parks around with all these rules and UTV running wild. Me and my buddys would take whatever we had ang look for some trails. We would find hill climbs, mud holes, river crossings you name it. Sure alot of the time we would have old CJ or Broncos or Rangers with bald mud tires on em, but other times we would have, a stock S10 Blazer, or Econoline van with running boards, or even a Chevy Beretta or K-Car. We had a blast. If you come up to something that makes you wonder. Get out measure it up, eyeball it. If you only get to play on the kiddie hill, you will fill up your day by walking around and checking out obstacles. Plus you still get to play on the kiddie hill!

Go with someone who has a 4x4 It beats having to call them to help when your stuck

Sounds like the green trails should be mostly navigable with your Mav. The possible 12" steps might present approach/departure angle problems and would need to be bypassed. But it appears there are also sand/gravel hills and open areas to play in. See Bundy Hill Offroad Recreation Co. on Facebook for some photos.

Give it a try and you'll learn some of what your Mav. can do. Just don't try to keep up with the Jeeps or ATVs that are built for this sort of thing. If you don't feel comfortable in a given spot as a first timer, there's no shame in turning around. It sounds like the park wil be able to advise you what to try.

I've not heard of this place before, but I'm in Fort Wayne and it sounds like a good place to try out my Mav. when it arrives next year.

Another place to try is Silver Lake Sand Dunes north of Muskegon MI. Wide open sand, little risk of body damage from any obstacles.
