Brushy Mountain Motorsports Park

Brushy Mountain Motorsports Park is the largest commercial off-road riding destination in the North Carolina Piedmont: 100+ miles of trails across 3,000+ acres in the Brushy Mountain range of Alexander County, approximately 70 miles northwest of Charlotte and 50 miles northeast of Hickory. The terrain is rolling Piedmont transitioning to genuine mountain foothills, with trail character ranging from beginner-friendly gravel paths to steep, rock-embedded hill climbs rated for experienced riders. The park caters to ATVs, UTVs, dirt bikes, and 4x4 vehicles across separate trail networks designed to keep fast and slow traffic from conflicting. Multiple creek crossings and elevated ridgeline routes offer scenic payoff alongside the technical challenge. On-site amenities include primitive and RV camping, cabin rentals, a general store, and a pavilion used for group events. Daily riding fees apply; group rates and annual passes are available. The park operates private property trails not subject to national forest rules, machine width and speed limits are park-defined. Brushy Mountain fills a critical gap in the NC OHV landscape between the coastal plain mud parks to the east and the national forest systems of the western mountains.
