Illinois ATV park opens new trails

NEBO, Ill.  – What was already the state’s largest ATV park is almost twice as big following the ribbon-cutting Saturday at Harpole’s Heartland Lodge.Owner Gary Harpole added 450 acres to the 700 acres of trails that riders have been enjoying for 15 years, and opened it to the public over the weekend.The trails go through fields, into woods, onto dirt paths and past many scenic spots. “It’s riding for all levels,” Harpole told the Journal-Courier. “Anybody that owns an ATV, a side-by-side or a dirt bike that is looking for a place to ride can come out and ride.”Riders will have to get an off-highway vehicle sticker to comply with a state program that helped fund the expansion of the park that took place over the past year. The park also rents vehicles for use on the course. http://www.dealernews.com/dealernews/article/illinois-atv-park-opens-new-trails #yashta
