ive never been to fox valley but i hear that the its mostly a motocross type deal. ive been to the cliffs a bunch of times though and love it. its not as good as the badlands but it is ver very fun. the trails are kind of rutted in areas but most are smooth. it also has place where u can open it up and even has some jumps. the best part of the cliffs though is the hill climbs. they have all sorts of hills that will really challenge you. the overall terrain kind of rolls up and down and its an overalll fun place to ride. the place also tends to get very very very muddy which of course kicks a$$

I do most of my riding at Badlands, in Attica Indiana, but I'm looking for something a little closer on occasion.

Anyone been to both Cliff's and Fox Valley? I would like to know positive or negative critiques of either place.

Thanks.

Well, I finally checked out The Cliffs. It was a good place to ride closer to home (Chicagoland). Still can't touch the variety of Badlands.

I spent a good deal of time trying to familairize myself with the trails, and only got really comfortable with one trail. Found some mud, jumps, and some water. The main trail was really rough and rutted, but i imagine it would be great after a heavy rain. Most of the trails seems to be shared with bike and trucks so the mud pits were quite deep, to deep for my faith in my 2x4 250 Recon.

I checked out the kiddie course and thought it was kind of nice for the younger kids just learning to ride.


My angle sensor crapped out about 2pm so I wasn't able to check out some of the interior trails, so I'll probably go back at least one more time. Once I get more familair with the trails, i'll probably enjoy it more.
