We have not been able to confirm the surface, distance or shape of Riverview OHV Park yet from its own listing, the park's website or runner reviews — so those cells stay blank rather than guess. What is below comes straight from the listing and from reviewers' own words. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
What runners say about Riverview OHV Park
Great trails to ride. Lots of tight woods and 2 motocross tracks plus one for bikes under 100cc. Not much for side by sides to drive on since they have to stay on the perimeter trail. There is bathrooms that I usually avoid and a picnic shelter. No camping though.
Absolutely one of the best OHV parks in the state of Iowa. In addition to all our other tracks and trails, we now offer a skilled UTV course you can ride your SXS on as well. I invite anyone that enjoys this sport to check the park out. We are open everyday.
The former Mitchell sand pits cleaned up and turned in to a really nice off-road area for motorcycles and quads. Well maintained, trails are well marked. Excellent variety of riding areas, two MX tracks, a trials area, woods tracks, dozens of trails, climbs and jumps.
Hadn’t been to Mitchell sandpits for YEARS. Well, this isn’t that ! Although on adjacent property, this is a dedicated OHV park. It is well setup, with well groomed trails and a variety of riding areas.
