Brick’s Off Road Park: Missouri Mud Hills for SxS, OHV, Dirt Bike & Crawler Riding

The First Run

Southern Missouri knows how to mix up mud, hills, and creek bottoms into something that feels wild but still a little like home. Brick’s Off Road Park leans right into that. You can still spot the old Brickell family farm roots, but now the cattle paths have turned into throttle-happy trails winding through rolling ground and wavy fields. Folks roll in for the mud slough, the Main Loop, and those hill climbs that make you wonder if your nerves or your machine will give out first. Beaver Dam Creek slices through the place, bringing cool air and natural crossings that set the pace for your ride. When event weekend hits, the crowd is a mash-up of big-truck fans, SxS riders, dirt bikers, and rock crawlers—one big, muddy family. The Trucks Only Freestyle Arena? That’s where the showdowns happen, and you’ll hear the cheers from across the fields. Brick’s isn’t polished or fancy. It’s loud, unpredictable, and built for people who want their weekends wild. Out here, the terrain calls the shots, and you just hang on for the ride.

The Dirt: Why We Rip Here

  • Rolling hill climbs with real bite — The terrain rises and falls in tight waves, giving SxS and OHV riders a mix of momentum climbs and technical throttle control. Dry days ride fast; wet days turn the hills into slick challenges that reward smart line choice.
  • The Mud Slough is famous for one thing: grabbing hold and not letting go. Big trucks get tested here, and smaller machines? They’re just hoping to make it out the other side. The mud is thick, sticky, and never the same twice. Every pass just makes it wilder.
  • Beaver Dam Creek cuts through the park, cooling things down and carving out natural lines for the ride. If you’re on a dirt bike or crawling, you’ll hit rocky edges, shallow crossings, and turns that the water shaped just for you.
  • The Main Loop is where it all comes together. It’s wide, it flows, and it’ll take you through fields, along creeks, and past the woods. If you want to see the whole park, this is your ticket.
  • Rock climbs here aren’t for the faint of heart. Some hills and outcrops have lines that only crawlers with a steady hand and sharp eye will want to try. If you’re looking for a challenge, you’ll find it.
  • Since Brick’s only opens on certain weekends, the trails always feel fresh. Weather and crowds can flip the script, so you never really know what you’re going to get until you’re out there.

Basecamp: Facilities & Camping

  • Primitive camping comes with your ticket. Pitch your tent in the designated spots and spread out—no extra fees, just you and your crew making camp for the weekend.
  • If you’re rolling in with an RV, there are a handful of electric and full-service hookups you can grab ahead of time. It’s a comfy way to set up base for the weekend.
  • Forget the usual concessions—on event weekends, food trucks roll in and keep everyone fed. You won’t have to leave the park to grab a bite.
  • Security presence throughout the event — A private security crew is on hand all weekend, keeping an eye on things and making sure everyone plays by the rules. move through camp at idle speed to reach the bathhouse between 1:00 a.m. and 6:00 a.m., keeping noise to a minimum while still allowing essential trips.
  • Staging is wide open. Set up your machine near your camp or along the main drag—whatever works for your crew.
  • Not into camping? There are hotel deals through park sponsors, so you can crash in Poplar Bluff and still make it to the action.
