About Us

Welcome to the 4WD FARM INC., over 150 acres of off road trails, rated 3-6 (in normal weather conditions) for enthusiasts and nature lovers such as ourselves. Our market is directed to small and midsize stock or slightly modified 4WD vehicles driven by people like us who drive their rigs daily. We offer you miles and miles of trails for your pleasure. Some trails are very challenging, but we always try to offer you a safety loop around the most demanding obstacles. We have designed the trails to compliment the fabulous terrain of our farm. Our trails have been laid out to eliminate the problem of waiting. If you breakdown your guide will give the problem a quick look, if we are not able to get you going in 10 minutes we will continue our adventure. We gladly will help you get your vehicle to the front gate, as soon as time allows.
What do we have? All of our trails allow traffic up or down, doubling your off road experience. We offer over 30 hill climbs ranging from 3' to 75' foot in grade. We have mud if that is your pleasure. Enjoy cool relief in summer as you travel in the shade through our 85 acres of woods. We have incorporated thousands of the boulders and field stones from our old stone fences into our trails. Our water obstacles range from 3 inches to 3 feet in depth, depending on the season. We have spent years grooming our trails, and have removed most hanging and ground branches (as long as you stay on the trail). We have clean outhouses at numerous locations for your comfort. Our trails are very tight because most of our trails are in the woods. All visitors ride the main trail with the more challenging obstacles being loops off or near the main trail. We have placed limits of 35" tires. We recommend a minimum of 30" tires, preferably all terrain tires. Of course with any off road adventure there is a risk of bodily harm as well vehicle damage. We are sorry but no full-sized trucks or large SUVs are allowed on trails. These vehicles would not enjoy most of our trails. When you arrive and check in, your vehicle will be trail rated, this determines the obstacles you may challenge. We will refuse any vehicle with problems detected from our safety inspection, especially unrestricted or loud exhaust systems. (see list of definite problems ).
