If you live in Southwestern Indiana and you're looking for a fun spot to get the wheels dirty on your new Jetmoto ATV, Redbird State Riding Area will be a choice destination for you and your Jetmoto. The park is on the remains of a former coal mine which has been out of commission since the 1950s. It has a good number of hills, inclines, and a lot of mud to roll through. The park is supported by fees paid by the ATVers and in the form of monies from the Federal Recreational Trail Fun.
Redbird is a very economical ride at only $10 per day. Your ATV must be registered with the Department of Natural Resources in the State of Indiana unless you are an out of state rider and your ATV is already registered in your home state. The Park reopens April 6th, 2006 and at the time of this writing, the parking, shelter and restroom facilities were under construction, but had not been completed. The park will be open on weekends and holidays only from 9AM to 5PM.
There is no alcohol allowed and all ATVs must have spark arrestors and mufflers installed prior to riding the area. Helmets and boots that come over the ankle are required to ride Redbird. Eye protection is not required but is good common sense as debris gets kicked up often and at a fast pace and you shouldn't rely on your helmet's full face visor to fully protect your eyes. Sometimes rocks and other roost can fly straight up.
