Best Family Riding with Cabins

Guys/Gals we normally have group rides at a place near Natural Bridge KY. These are normally adult only rides. However, I am trying to plan some family rides with a few friends and looking for a place that has cabins and will allow 4 seat rhinos. Also need to make sure the trails are majority mild so I don't have to get the kids in and out of the Rhino every 5 minutes for an obstacle. We like to take longer slower paced rides so we can enjoy the outdoors and spend some quality time together.

I have looked at Brimstone and Royal Blue but not sure that they have enough lodging that is at or within riding distance to the trail head. Burning Rock and HM don't allow 4 seat rhinos regardless how safe they are. I have watched many of the videos on here of Brimstone and seems to be a decent place. All the Evarts videos I see seem to have a lot of steep hill climbs and that I don't want.

I am trying to stay within about a 4 hour drive time from Louisville, KY.

Thanks for any suggestions.

Hey brother.........you want to get that lined up and I am sure there will be some takers. There are several on here with kids. I would say Brimstone would be your best bet, although there are some places in Evarts you could go too. When are you looking at?? I have a friend that has an awesome rental house that could accomodate several in Evarts and he would guide us on some easy stuff. I would like to do this as well with my little girl.

I have not gotten her out on any trails yet, but I have the setup for her and my wife. I will ride my King Quad out in front of them.

Nice I don't have any pics of mine just yet. My cage is at the shipping dock for me to pick up today. Gotta get that guy painted and mounted. I do like that booster seat. Where and how much was that one. I am not sure if my youngest, she just turned 2, will be riding but my 7 year old definitely will be. He even has a 70cc eton viper I will be bringing.

I have 2 stock seats in the back and I have 4 point Crow harnesses throughout.

Not sure if you have ever rode around the Natural Bridge area but we usually stay at a place in Peaceful Valley and it is awesome.

Here are a few pictures of a couple rides there. This was before we got the Rhino. The only picture of me is the guy with the yellow shirt standing all by himself in front of the rocks. That is actually behind our cabin.

The seat is a PRP booster seat. I got it from Rigid Industries over on Rhino forums. He is fair on prices.

I have never been to Natural Bridge but I know Dodds and those guys have. I would be willing to go check it out.

hey Martman....welcome.........i'm the guy that sold your the OEM top on Craigslist......

how far is Natural Bridge from Louisville and in which direction? Also if you stay on the main trails @ Evarts, most of them are not too steep.

Lt, 2 nice looking girls. It took one trip for my wife to appreciate the Rhino, but now she loves to drive it.

Thanks. Wifey loves to drive the Rhino too!

You can find hard trails at any of the places we ride. especially if your riding with me. However, most of these places have very mild trails. I think your best bet for LOTS of mild trails would be Windrock. It is one of the largest places around. It as many gravel roads and easy trails. There are cabins at the new camp ground you can rent.

Ride Royal Blue is a fairly new camping place , also has cabins and direct access to the trails .

I love riding at RB , cost me about $ 17 a year , I just ad a WMA small game stamp for 17 bucks to my hunting / fishing lic.

Oh yeah, money......... Evarts has lots of good easy trails to ride and it does not cost you anything to ride. As of right now. They will be charging soon though. You can ride your machine to the gas station if you want....

It takes about 2.5 hours from the southwest side of Louisville. Take 64 all the way to the mountain parkway and then take mountain parkway for about 30 miles. I can't remember the exit but it is a main one for the Natural Bridge.

Where we stay is peaceful valley resort. Not really a resort by any means but a lot of cabins and they are not on top of each other so you also have privacy. You can do a search I believe for Johns Homestead and find the first cabin that you will run into once you enter the "resort". Little bit of a rough ride getting back to the cabins if you have a long trailer but we have people that brought 16 foot trailers and managed to get back to our cabin which was the last one in there. Even after you get off the expressway you have to drive like 15 miles and go past the NB state park.

I really like it there. Very laid back and no one to bother you since it really is not an ATV park but trails that are accessible from the cabins.

I bought that top rode twice with it and now my 4 seat cage is in. I actually put the first coat of paint on it tonight.

I will let everyone know when we plan on going again.

we ride there alot, really like it. but also lots of private land, and GOV, that doesn't allow riding...leagally.although they have slacked off some on the patrol, I advise to beware of man in green suit. and know where you are..most trails open to liscense vehicle only.

i was actually there today.....

Got my family cruiser built. Once they outgrow the rear seating the 4 seater will go.

Real nice cage there.

Thanks everyone. I am really pleased. I actually suspect once the kids get older I will go with a rzr or something for the wife and I that is smaller but until the kids can run circles around me I will be very happy with this.
