Experienced and novice riders have lots of room to push their limits on dirt bikes and ATVs at Georgia Off-Road Adventures formerly Durhamtown Off-Roading Resort in Greene County. Or if hunting is your thing, they’ve got that too.
GEORGIA OFF-ROAD ADVENTURES: DIRT BIKE AND ATV RIDING
Less than two hours east of Atlanta, just past the picturesque town of Greensboro is a hunting preserve called Georgia Off-Road Adventures, which has become just as well known as a Georgia off road park. When business slowed in 2001, owner Mike McCommons, decided to expand from hunting into motorsports and dirt bike rentals. The facility is now a model for dirt bike places, as well as ATV parks in Ga. and around the world.
At the Georgia Off-Road Adventures off road park, you’ll find 150 miles of one way trails of off road riding for ATV and motorcycles, fourteen tracks including a pee wee, supercross, MX, a dirt drag strip, a dirt flat oval and a freestyle park. Many of the employees are also riders that perform across the country in freestyle shows, spending their off time at this great location. If you’re lucky, you could catch the next Ronnie Renner practicing in the freestyle park.
GEORGIA OFF-ROAD ADVENTURES FOR EXPERIENCES RIDERS
For the experienced dirt bike trail or ATV rider, bring your own machine and just pay a daily fee. There is also an extensive pro shop and machine repair if you need something fixed or something new. For those who’ve never ridden, or don’t have their own gear, they offers a dirt bike rental program, as well as ATV, side by sides, and Rhino rentals.
The best part of Georgia Off-Road Adventures is the family-friendly atmosphere. The day we went, I saw moms and dads riding with kids and lots of kids riding together. There are cottages onsite and RV site hookups, so many families come and spend the weekend if you’d rather watch than ride, and several races to enjoy. Grab a site map for more information.
GEORGIA OFF-ROAD ADVENTURES FOR NOVICE RIDERS
The day we went was wet, so we rode ATV’s in the ATV park, starting on the oval track to get our bearings. Then moving to the drag strip where my boys raced each other. Next we took a leisurely ride through the woods on part of the 100 miles of trails. The boy’s favorite was the MX track where they could get a little air. Since we aren’t experienced riders, I like that there is a separate MX track for those 8 and under and another for 12 and under.
In addition to the motorsports, the Plantation still offers prime hunting with deer, turkey and wild boar. They also offer sporting clays, fishing and a rifle range.

MORE ABOUT GEORGIA OFF-ROAD ADVENTURES
According to ATVRider.com: Durhamtown Off-Road Resort has returned as Georgia Off-Road Adventures. After a brief legal battle that shut Durhamtown down in early January, we’re happy to announce the park has reopened under new ownership.
Former owner Mike McCommons sold the business to brother Tim McCommons earlier this year. In a recent interview with the Athens Banner-Herald, Mike commented, “I’m just hanging out and enjoying my days in retirement.” Mike has been advised not to speak about the issues that led to the closure of Durhamtown Off-Road Resort.
The venue received renovations and improvements while it was closed, just in time for the grand reopening. Even though the park missed the peak springtime season, the mild Georgia climate is inviting to outdoor enthusiasts year-round.
