Just wondering if anyone's been there, and what their impression was as the website offers little info.

Ive been there before; its pretty cool. They mostly have mud but there are trails and rocks also. I went with my friend, who owns a stock Liberty, so we stayed in the lower leveled areas, but it was really fun there. I havent gone in like 5 years, but i know they have different levels for how beefed up your ride is; I think its like 1-3 where 1 would be for stock rides, and three would be for monster trucks and ****.

Went every other weekend last summer, a lot through the winter too. Like the person above said, it's a lot of trails with mud, but there are a lot of cleaner scenic trails, a few large sand areas, a new-ish rock area for all levels of Jeep, etc. It's a ton of fun. I'll include some pictures for you. I'm on the board of a club that goes pretty often, if you'd like to go some week/weekendyou can come along with us if you like.

Due your self a favor and find someone that has been there before. If you get back into the woods some of those holes can get big and you really should be with someone that knows there way around.

I've been going there for about 6 years now. But this will be my first year not going cause we moved to Ohio.

Very fun place. Everything from hills to rocks to sand to trails...

Thanks for the advice. I have a buddy who says he used to go there, but that was 5-6 years ago, so I wanted some more current info.

Me and a buddy go there all the time. If you go with someone that knows it you can find good areas with little to no mud. Unless it has rained then it is everywhere. The rock area has levels from stock to extreme. We will post up when we go next

I used to go there all the time, but it has gotten to the point where it is not even fun to go there anymore. Most of the trails that were fun are so over used that it is hard to get around. The system of "trails" can all be done in about 45 minites, the place is pretty small. For you, Living in fenton the only advantage you have is it's close to home.

I stopped going to the mounds after bundy hill opened, it's twice the size, all the trails are marked, and new trails get added all the time, they have a food vender right in the park selling snacks. All the people that run and patrol Bundy hill are awesome.....super nice. IMO this is the best off road park in southern Michigan. I was there for six hours and ran 3/4 of the trails, I did run one trail twice because it was fun.
