- We want you to have a good time. So following the rules, proper trail etiquette and coming prepared helps.
After you pull past the big Badlands sign at the road, you'll head down the lane approximately 1/4 of a mile. Everyone that needs a ride band will turn right into the lot and pull into the lanes on the left hand side. This is temporary registration parking. Please do not unload, air down, attach flags, etc. Everyone will exit the vehicle (including children and non riders) and enter the Badlands Pro Shop to register. Everyone 18 years and older will need to bring a LEGAL ID with them. Everyone will need a Badlands wristband. Once you are registered, you will return to your vehicle and pull to the entrance gate where a staff member will verify your band and explain where to park.
The Food Shack at The Badlands is like eating grilled, home cooked food. Pulled Pork, Chicken Wraps, Bacon Cheeseburgers, and their famous Sasquatch Burger are just a few of the amazing food options.
*The Food Shack is open Saturday & Sunday, 11 am - 3 pm from March 1st through Thanksgiving and some holidays.
After your day of riding the last thing you want to do is fight over the mess in the car on the way home. That's why we have 100% private single person showers that are 15ft. deep so you can undress and shower behind a locked door in a private room. With 4 private showers available the wait times are not even an issue. A deposit of your ID is required and there is a small fee for the use.
