Riverview
ATV Park
STEVE HAMILTON
Kewaunee County
in 1996, the 20 miles of
trail within Kewaunee County’s
Riverview ATV Park offer the kind of
challenges that make for great riding.
This ATV paradise
offers a slice of everything:
twisting trails
through woods and
open areas, a hill
climb, rhythm jump
trail, intense use trail, a trail
for kids and a large picnic
area on the shore of a pond.
The creation of the 220-acre ATV-only
park was a joint project between the local
Bay Lake ATV Club and Kewaunee County.
Riverview ATV Park is an excellent example
of ATV registration monies used to finance
the construction of ATV facilities.
The park’s entrance road (Maple Road
or Cty L) divides it into two sectors. Wide,
sweeping trails to the north beckon riders
of all abilities. Near the very north end of
the park a hill climb area allows experienced
riders to test the engine strength
and traction capabilities of their quads.
Make it to the top and you can check out
the view of the surrounding countryside.
To the south, you can enjoy twisting
trails under a canopy of thick trees. This
area offers a variety of conditions; from
rolling terrain to flat, open areas. The trail
here is just the ticket for those looking for
adventurous riding.
The southern portion of the park also
offers several opportunities to test your
mettle. An oval-shaped trail near the
southern end of the park might not look
like much at first glance, but its rhythm
bumps will test your technical riding skill.
To the east, an Intense Use Trail dips, dives
and turns over a variety of terrain reminiscent
of a carnival thrill ride. A final feature
of the southern sector is an oval Kiddie
Trail.
When you need a rest, you can stretch
your legs at the picnic area just north of
the parking lot. A pair of farm ponds and
tables in the shade makes it a great spot
for a family picnic lunch.
