Heiney Farm

Heiney Farm is also open to all types of off-roading vehicles, including SUVs, Jeeps, trucks, ATVs, and motorcycles. Locals simply refer to it as “The Farm,” and the private property is perfect for group riding. If you plan to go, you will need to have at least five vehicles to take advantage of the property and make advance arrangements, but it is well worth it since you will get the trails to yourselves. There is around 160 acres total, including narrow ravines, mud pits, steep hill climbs, 4×4 trails, and a large open field for parking and primitive camping.
