River Road Rally Park is geared towards beginners and has an onsite Field Marshall to assist if anything goes awry. This place is definitely where we want to start out before tackling anything more substantial like a Jamboree event down in the Badlands of Indiana. This will give us the chance to test our Jeep’s capabilities in a moderately low-stress environment that’s not too far away from home. We can also pretension our winch cables and get familiar with how the recovery straps work, etc. This will all need to be done anyway before heading out to the bigger, more remote locations down the road.

Details:

River Road has a track and a trail.

The track has multiple obstacles including tires, rocks, mounds, mud, etc. You can choose whatever challenge you want based on your Jeep’s capabilities and how aggressive you’d like to be. If anyone wants to break an axle over some huge rocks, the rest of us can sit back and admire them from the sidelines!

The trail is a bit more intensive, because once you enter, you need to follow through to the end. They said it’s more or less challenging depending on how wet the ground is.

Their only requirement is that each Jeep is tagged with a red trail flag. They sell them for $20 and we get to keep them.

They said to plan on being out on the course for about 3 hours. We’re welcome to stay longer, but that’s the amount of time it should take to test our equipment and try out some obstacles and the trail.

They’re open October 12th, 13th, 26th, and 27th. No reservations necessary.

$25 per driver for daily admission.

Let me know what date works best for you guys and let’s get our first official event on the calendar!
