Clear Fork Adventure Resort

My Dog and I loved this place, fun trails and good variety of views.

Last year, I took the kids to ride at the Clear Fork ATV park. It was a good experience. We had a good lunch at the onsite restaurant before paying the fee ($20 pp, regardless of age) to ride the property. There were not many people there, but I don't think the defunct-ski-resort-turned-ATV-park had been open for very long. The lodge/Bar/Restaurant building was clean and air conditioned with decent restroom facilities.Sunday was the fourth time that I've ridden the Clear Fork Adventure Park in the past two years. Unfortunately, the park was in the worst shape ever. The restaurant is permanently closed. They used to mow all of the ski hills and the land surrounding the adult and kids' dirt tracks. The kids track was so overgrown, I had trouble finding it. Almost all of the grass on the property was 2-4 feet tall. I encountered many thorny vines growing across the poorly-marked trails (dark-red spray-painted dots on trees mean wrong-way; dark-green spray-painted dots mean right-way).I used to like to ride this place on the weekend for safety reasons (rather than face the high-traffic trails at Wayne on weekends). It was a nice place to take the kids, and it's only an hour away from home. Unfortunately, it is not going to survive by charging riders $20 per day and failing to perform minimal maintenance on the property. The hours of operation are pretty strange as well: Wed - Sun, noon - 7 PM.We were told the resort has been sold two or three times, and it is currently owned by an investment group in Utah that owns 27 other resorts (this is the only one that is an ATV park).

Had a great time love the place. The staff is nice. I like having that it has bands. Nice. Can't wait till the summer and the blue grass, blues bands at the big concerts

Heard this place had amazing food in a pleasant scenic atmosphere. We showed up for dinner and were then turned away because the head chef had been let go and they had no one to prepare dinners. The building is an old ski lodge and is set in a beautiful part of Ohio with a great view. However, it was vacant. There were 2 people behind the bar and what seemed like 4 other employees just standing around talking. No one was at the front desk but a sign for us to go upstairs. That is when we saw the employees which not one greeted us. It was all a bit confusing and uncomfortable. We asked if they were even open because it did not seem like it at all. That's when a lady did yes and we can sit where we like but then informed us the kitchen was closed. The website stated yhey were open and that is why we made the drive out. We were then going to stay for one drink but the bartenders didn't know how to make our drinks so we decided to go elsewhere. We strongly do not recommend this place and we will never go back. It was very awkward and uncomfortable to say the least.

This place was abandoned since I've been in butler Ohio. But the place is always kept up to date as well

Drove up 1.5 hours from Marysville OH. Found this on riderplanet and unlike many places in Ohio (the state parks) they allow UTVs greater than 50 inches. After viewing their main website I couldn't wait to get to drive all over an old ski-resort. Got there just as they opened and wandered inside the lodge and spoke with an incredibly nice southern bell type behind the counter. Paid our money and went to take it off the trailer and discovered the wife hung up the keys in the house after she loaded the UTV! DOH!! We went inside and had NO problems getting our money back and see what else they had to offer. Ended up renting a paddle boat and did that for a while and went to thank the lady at the counter and ended up getting 2 rental ATVs so we could check the rest of the park out. Did some practicing on the flat track to get used to an ATV and our son loved it. Then followed the ski lift towers up the hill noting dozens of offshoot trails in all directions until we got to the top and what a view. They have 2 skilift platforms at the top to check out and a spiderwed of trails coming off the hilltop as well. Tried a couple and vowed to come back with the UTV which we are more familiar with to explore some more. Will definitely be back AND plan to stay in one of their numerous cabins they have scattered around the property.
