Who’s up for a thrilling adventure? Whether you’re a real daredevil who loves breathtaking action or you prefer just the right amount of thrills, you’ll quickly discover this off road adventure park in Missouri has a little bit of something for everyone of all ages and all skills levels. (All types of vehicles are permitted, too.) But, what happens when everyone is having so much fun that no one wants to leave at the end of the day? Why, you camp at the adventure park, of course.
Explore some - or all - of the 70 miles of off road trails that wind through Rush Springs Ranch, in Pineville, billed as the "Ultimate Off Road Adventure Park."
Even if you've never gone off-roading before, you can learn everything you need to know with a driving lesson from one of the seasoned staff. Or, if you just want to get the lay of the land before setting off on your own, head off on one of the guided buggy or Jeep tours.
All ready to go? Then, decide what trail you want set off on. Trails range from easy to "rock crawler trails." Check out the map before you hit your preferred trail.
But, what if you just want to play? You can do that, too. Head to the field, aka the "Donut Zone," where you can practice your donuts all day, if you want. Or, have a little fun driving at the massive gravel pit or...
Test your skills at the famous Area 51 (pictured below). And, if you're not much for off-roading in a vehicle, how about bringing your horse along for a leisurely ride through the massive adventure park just north of the Arkansas border?
Horse trails are separate from motor vehicle trails, so you can expect a relaxing experience. (And, if you're looking for a pasture for your horse(s), Rush Spring Ranch has space available on a monthly basis.)
And, at the end of the day, why not keep the fun going by checking in to one of the cabins, pitch a tent in one of the camping areas, or pull your RV into a designated spot? (Accommodation for horses is also available.)
Each of the ranch's cabins comes with such amenities as heating, air conditioning, electricity, a mini fridge, and a microwave. Or, if you prefer a more rustic experience, request the primitive cabin.
