The only place LEGAL is Rocky Hill MX track (after you pay)

I have been told about a place in Thomaston (thomaston dam and is owned by US corps of engineers)

There used to be a state forrest out on the R.I border, but that has since been shut down too. I have been told there there is some riding out on the NY border by New Milford, but again thats illegal too.

 

Where in CT are you from, and is that your shee in your avitar?

I used to live in New Milford and there are a good amount of places there are the resoviors but I think they are being built on. Candlewood Lake is sweet during the winter when it is frozen but make sure you have studs or you won't go anywhere. The power lines aren't to bad. I can find out more from my friends but i moved from there to FL about a year ago.

I live in East Windsor, and yes that is my shee in my avatar. Also, i have been to Thompson Dam before with my yz 80 when i was like 11. But i never knew you could ride quads there

fel0n:

Thompson dam is off limits to atv's but when has that ever stopped anyone before? There is NO legal land in Ct... and I dont think thats going to change anytime soon.

 

Your not to far from me by the way.... maybe 10 minutes

Great looking shee too!

 

You should check out some places in Mass to ride... October mtn state forrest (near Pittsfield), Monson Mass, Montague Mass. Southwick Mass (not the track). I also just found out that there are a bunch of guys that set up a 1/4 mile strip in Springfield by some old shopping mall (boston road) every sunday to race. I think they are now done for the year due to the FRIGGIN cold weather. There is also some trails out behind my house, but again thats illegal too (catch me if you can) hehe

Not to stray off subject, but DAMN that is sad to hear you have no legal places to ride in the whole state. Why is that? Any particular reason, or just because The Powers That Be said so? Any legislation to open up legal riding areas or trails?

Uppity Conn. people make those shitty rules, and they are following suit here in MA. There are no longer any legal riding spots east of Worcester county.

Its because we live with a bunch of tree hugging hippie mother f0king idiots. They have actually passed a law in the state that makes it illegal to ride on YOUR OWN LAND. (noise, nusance) I heard a few months ago that there was a proposed plan to open some state land for riding.. and that was shut down FAST!

Some old MX guy at the southern end of the state had roughly 200 acres that had a small MX track and a shitload of trails. He decided to make it an "off road park".

Before he was even open to the public, the state came in and "tried" to shut him down. When they didnt have a leg to stand on, they decided to block the "private" road to his track. Yes thats ILLEGAL. They started giving him all kinds of shit as with anyone that was riding there. They started handing out tickets for un-registered atv's even though they were on private property. Let's just say that his dream of owning an offroad track is now just a memory.
