Our club meets at the Ironton Legion 232 4th street at 9am and leave at 10am to ride. Our club is active in the Crosby Ironton area we promote responsible riding.

We host  ATV youth safety training and have monthly rides.

We maintain the Miller Black Bear trail area. The trail is located between the cities of Trommald & Riverton off of Iverson road. There are 20 miles of nice forest trails with picnic sites, grills and scenic overlooks of the Mississippi River. It is nice area to bring your family and friends to enjoy the outdoors. Non members are welcome to attend our meetings and rides.

Here are some pictures from some trail that has been done this spring. Our club recently develop a picnic site on the Mississippi River with a table and grill. We are currently installing a bridge over a small water crossing. All the trail maintenance and work is done by volunteer members.

They develop and provide a wide range of programs and information tools to individuals, clubs, associations and agencies to further a positive future for responsible Off Highway Vehicle recreation.

Pence spoke about the recent articles published in the Brainerd Dispatch about the Mississippi Northwoods property. The county is working through the comprehensive trail application process. Pence noted that the comment period ended on the 15^th and that the county will respond to each one. Comments can still be submitted to the county’s website.
