Kentucky might be known for bourbon and horse racing, but there are plenty of things that make it so great. It’s packed with rugged terrain, wooded trails, steep hills, rocks, mud, and scenic overlooks that make it a great place to ride—perfect for off-road riding.
Kentucky has something for just about every kind of rider. You can stick to easier trails and scenic rides, or head into the mountains for steep climbs, rocky sections, and mud. That variety makes it easy to find a trail that fits your riding style.
To help you find the right spot, we’ve come up with the seven best UTV and ATV trails. We’ve included everything from massive mountain trail systems to family-friendly parks, along with what you can expect when you get there.

If you want to see what Appalachian riding is all about, Black Mountain is a great place to start. The park has 6,000 acres around Evarts and has about 150 miles of trails. The trails range from beginner-friendly routes to steep, rocky terrain that will test experienced riders.
The steep climbs and rocky sections at Black Mountain can put your drivetrain through a lot of work. SuperATV Portals give you added ground clearance and a gear reduction to help your machine handle technical climbs and obstacles with more confidence.
Hillbilly Trails gives you more than 100 miles of trails that wind through the Appalachian and Pine Mountain area, so you’ll have plenty of ground to cover. Some routes give you a more relaxed vibe with scenic areas, while others get more challenging. It’s the perfect area to find trails that fit your riding style.
Having the right protection and comfort can make a big difference when you’re traveling through mountain areas. A SuperATV Front and Rear Windshield helps keep dust and dirt from swirling into the cab, especially when you’re riding behind another machine.
There’s a little bit of everything at Wildcat Offroad Park. It has 2,000 acres that are packed with more than 100 miles of wooded trails, hills, and more advanced terrain, so you can spend the day exploring easier routes or step it up when you’re ready for something tougher.
Wildcat’s hills, rocks, and uneven trails can put a lot of stress on your steering. Upgrading to stronger SuperATV Tie Rods gives your machine better, more durable steering parts that are ready to take on rough terrain.
Hollerwood puts you in the heart of Eastern Kentucky. You’re surrounded by the mountains near Red River Gorge and Natural Bridge. The park is more than 2,500 acres filled with valleys, ridges, rocky sections, mud, and scenic trails, giving you plenty of ways to spend a day in your machine.
Hollerwood’s mix of rocks, mud, and steep terrain is the kind of riding where extra traction comes in handy. A set of SuperATV Tires can help you find grip when you’re climbing rocky hills or working your way through muddy sections.
It’s hard to run out of places to explore at Rush Off-Road. With 7,000 acres and more than 100 miles of trails, you can spend your day cruising through the hills or taking on muddy, rocky, and more technical sections as you make your way across the property.
If you’re planning to spend the whole day exploring Rush Off-Road, you’ll want a way to carry the gear you bring along. A SuperATV Cargo Rack gives you extra room for gear, coolers, and other essentials without filling up your cab.
Blue Holler is a solid choice when you want a full day of riding without sticking to just one type of terrain. Located near Mammoth Cave, it has more than 1,000 acres of woods, hills, rocks, mud, and technical trails to give you plenty to explore.
Blue Holler’s rocks, hills, and technical areas can put plenty of strain on your drivetrain. A set of Rhino Axles gives you stronger support that’s built to handle the abuse that comes with rougher terrain.
Mine Made Adventure Park gives you an Appalachian riding experience on mining land in Eastern Kentucky. You’ll find wooded trails, hills, elevation changes, and routes ranging from beginner-friendly to more challenging terrain.
The elevation changes at Mine Made can make steering and suspension parts work harder than usual. Upgrading to SuperATV A-Arms gives your machine added strength for navigating the rocks, ruts, and uneven ground you’ll encounter throughout the park.
Kentucky has no shortage of places to ride. You can spend a day in mud, rocks, wooded areas, and more. The options really are limitless. It’s just about finding a trail system that fits your machine and your riding style.
Before you load up and head out, check the park’s current rules, permits, fees, maps, weather, and trail conditions.
