Has anyone ridden Tall Pines in New York? Thinking of heading that way in the coming weeks for a few days and was wondering if anyone had experience there? Reviews appear to be decent and I had a good cconversation with the owners several days ago. Brian

I live 10 minuites from there and I haven't been in a few years. If I had no where else to ride id go there but deep ruts last time seemed to b a lot of abuse for the riding. But it may be better now. I know he bought a groomer n a lot of people go there. They also have expanded trails and have several mud obstacles.

I have a season pass and go often.
Trails are challenging mostly low gear, about 50% will need 4wd.
This is not the place for a gentle Sunday drive. If you enjoy rough terrain and mud this park is a great ride. Some good hills but not as steep as Majestic trails down near Bradford PA. That is another challenging park. If you want easy riding go to Denton Hill State Forest near Coudersport PA. They have lots of smooth easy logging roads, and it's free. Try them all, choose your favorite.

Wandering child,
I disagree with everything you just posted.
I hardly ever put my commander in 4 wheel drive there...
There are different levels of trails .... So if you want to just tool around you can.... And there is a way around every thing if you didn't want to go through somthing...
Get with or talk to some of the repeat riders that know he trails there before giving a shotty review of one of the best parks in NY.

Mr Broown,
I will take lessons from you on how to post a snotty reply.
What I posted was a quick honest opinion of the trails at tall pines.
Dont know how you twisted my words around to make it sound snotty. I actually enjoy the rough 4 wheel drive terrain and if you never use 4 Wd there it must be because your a light weight who sticks to the kiddie trails.

Don't be knocking those kitty trails. Those are the trails you put it in 4wd and pin the skinny petal to the floor.

The OP was asking for reviews on this park. Which in my book is a overall account / opinion on the location. Everybody has different opinions on subject do to everybody has different experience levels and different styles of driving. I see no reason to bash anybody for thier opinion on this type of subject matter. In turn if your not using low or 4wd maybe your just abusing your machine. For no other reason other than lack of experience. Again opinions can be turn anyway you want to turn them. So think the next time anyone has a opinion before. But sense we are on the opinion subject. I do know that in some states it's not a prefect world for riders. But as for parks I hate everything about them. Call me a outlaw or what ever you want. But when the day comes that I have to pay for a season pass to ride that's the day I sale everything and stop riding. But I not going to tell y'all to do that and or move down here were you can ride 24/7 365 for free.

What More Can You Ask

Yes it bites having to pay to ride, never did when I was a kid. NY state really has a problem not allowing the heavier UTV's to be registered. Private parks don't need to worry about it if they are on private land. The choice of pay or don't play is a no brainer. Not when trails like this wait at Tall Pines.....
