East of Bismarck you can see this trail cut into the hills east of Midwest Motor Express. It winds all around the field along the highway and up along the hill behind the trucking company. There are No Trespassing signs posted along the side of the road. But you know what? There’s an option.

The owner of this property maintains the trail for motorcycle and ATV use. He’s been gracious enough to open it up to people who want to ride. There’s only one catch: you must stop in at the office of Midwest Motor Express and sign a waiver. It’s a shame that in today’s litigious society a guy could get sued for just about anything. This waiver shows that you agree to use the land at your own risk. I believe you must be 18 to use the trail (since you can’t sign a legal document if you’re a minor, maybe parents can sign for their kids if they agree to supervise them).

It’s a really neat trail and a lot of fun to ride. There are no big jumps that I’m aware of, just a fun trail winding over several acres. It’s really a huge trail…the pictures just can’t do it justice at only 500 pixels wide.

So if you are over 18 and you are looking for a nice place to ride, and perhaps “the Desert” is just too sandy for you, pay the nice folks at MME a visit, sign the waiver, and have fun. But please ride responsibly…don’t ruin it for everyone.
