The park is a 2000+ acre working cattle ranch in the heart of Central Florida. The trails are all natural with many peppered with challenges certain to build skill. The park caters exclusively to Jeeps making the TJR a treat to ride.

True to Central Florida, there is good bit of up and down.

Obstacle challenges if you desire.

Bring what you got, run what you have, just make sure it’s a Jeep.
