South Fork Dirt Riders

South Fork Dirt Riders OHV Park is a 436-acre off-highway vehicle facility near Taylorville in Christian County, central Illinois, established in 2000 and developed through Illinois DNR grant assistance. The park was built specifically to serve the central Illinois OHV community, which had essentially no dedicated riding venue between the Chicago-area parks to the north and the southern Illinois coal country parks to the south. Over 400 acres of wooded trails, bottomland routes, mud bogs, and multiple motocross tracks provide terrain variety for a facility of this size. Dirt bikes, four-wheelers, and UTVs are all permitted across the riding areas. Camping facilities include approximately 40 total sites, with 9 full hook-up sites alongside standard electric and primitive options, a campground scale that supports club events and organized ride weekends. A shower house and dump station round out the overnight facilities. The central Illinois location puts South Fork within reach of Springfield, Decatur, Champaign, and Peoria markets, a significant under-served population for OHV access.
