We got out in the Wainwright training area on Sunday and let me tell you.........95km and we only scratched the surface. We are working on having a rally there but legal issues are hampering us. It's nothing like the Rocky area but nice long trails.

You can ride anytime.


Just be faster than a speeding bullet.

That and stay out of any artilary ranges. They are full of unexploded munitions.

They used to have a hunting draw for that base but not sure if they still do.

What kind of terrain is it? Are the trails treed in, hilly, sand/dirt/gravel, mud/skeg, etc., creeks/rivers, beginner/intermediate/advanced?

There was a draw last year and saw some big cat footie prints.

Huge variety of terrain, lots of sand, gravel trees, hills, mud(depending on the time of year). Can't cross any streams unless its using a bridge. Would be a kick a$$ place to have some dealer sponsors test drive units. Most is beginner to intermediate but there are also parts I wouldn't take a tank.

Is there certain times you can ride in there? Probably need an escort such as yourself? How does that work for us civy's

There is a safety brief that you need which is about 15-30min and also depends if there are any manoeuvres going on, and it's 5 smackers for a day pass if you with a member of the base club.
