We do allow small carts such as Honda® Odysseys, Pilots, Carter Go Karts and similar karts. Flags and helmets required.
Helmets are required for all drivers and riders of ATVs and Bikes. Helmets are also required for Minors (under the age of 18) driving or riding in a Side x Side (this is State law).

We do not require insurance to ride at the Badlands, but you would be wise to consider it for your own protection. You are as responsible here, as if you were driving on the road, and hit someone. We recommend you follow your State's rules.

No, but we encourage the use of quiet exhaust systems.
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.
