We didn't get to spend as much time here as we would like, but it was a fun visit. Would recommend overall. As an OHV location it is adequate, but obviously cannot offer the same level of elevation changes in the trails as those in more mountainous areas. Still, it is a nice, well-run park in a beautiful area of west Kentucky. Enjoyed it!

The trails aren't marked well the map is not very good. But at least you know you're in the off-road area! Locals know the way and are generally courteous. Avoid during busy times. You will see lots of fun toys there, that's for sure!

We love riding at turkey Bay. Always lots of trails to ride and it’s always nice to cool off in the lake on a hot day.

Lots of trails at different levels, but they are not all well marked. Beautiful scenery, with lake access. Not much cell service. Priced well.

Miles and miles of trails ranging from impossibly rugged to beginner friendly. Stunning views of the lake as well. No electric or water hookups but there are picnic tables at all the camping areas. We always have a grand time there.

Been here several times, with our SxS, jeep, 4 wheeler, diet bikes. As of today is closed due to flooding.

Turkey Bay is the best! Trails for all riding styles, all well marked and plentiful. The views riding by the lake side are unmatched. Restrooms are very clean and well maintained.

Great variety! Long Serpatine track, rock, dunes, woods… Has service department, lots of supplies and parts for machines. Good sales for purchasing bikes and 4 wheelers. Nearby RV park is excellent. You can ride machines into town for ice cream and dinner (skip the Mexican restaurant!).

2 yxz 1000R's & a 2022 JEEP came down for labor day weekend and it was a blast. They really do have trails for anyone and the bathrooms for the camp ground are kept very clean and stocked with tp. First time getting to ride by the water in boy was it nice! Jumping in the water to cool off a bit and keep on riding. Definitely will be back!

If you're from the dirt bike and sport ATV era then you will notice the place is destroyed by all of the SXS traffic. We rode there for decades before 2007 when the hill climbs went on for acres and acres. The hills are now reduced to washed out rocky crevices, deep erosion and dangerous drop-offs. Of course there are main trails if you like riding on a dirt road and you can slip around the edge of the lake when the water isn't to high. It's ok for a family with little kids to kick around the camp ground and putt about on the roads. But if you are looking for wide open sport ATV hill climbing adventure find another place that hasn't allowed the SXS traffic or restricted off road to 50" wide only.

We had a blast at Turkey bay. You can be here for a whole day and not run all of the variety of trails this place has to offer. We enjoyed the views and the mix of mud, rocks and off-camber fun!

We love taking a crowd with us. Load the trailer up with UTVs and spend the day. They have it all. Casual trails, hills, cliffs, shoreline, coves, camping and plenty of woods. If you have a family like mine they have a several mud holes too.

We are so happy we bought the annual pass. We avoid weekends and rarely run across others on the trails. The trails are marked and color coded. We ride the yellow trails and feel quite safe in our Ranger.

Riding complexity for all levels of riders.
