Comments:

Rockport Off-Road Park is located in west central Illinois. It offers technical, off-camber, muddy hill climbs and wooded challenges for all atvs, dirt bikes and suvs. According to the park owners, it is the only park of this kind in Illinois. New developments are ongoing including the brand new acre "mud pit" for atv's and dirt bikes. The pit goes from 3" to well "real men don't ask how deep it is". A real rock crawl area is in the works. Some of the scenic trails overlook the Mississippi River Valley. The park is for off road beginners to the hardcore. Over 700 acres of great-wheelin' terrain, with more on the way. A great place to test your four wheel drive skills. Enjoy family picnics, beautiful scenery and wheelin' adventures all in one place!

All ATVs, dirt bikes and short-wheelbased SUVs welcome.
(A short wheel-based vehicle is defined as those that are 115" or less.)
