Carnegie State Vehicular Recreation Area

Came here on a Tuesday afternoon for the 4x4 park. It was small and took us less then 10 to run through everything. A good place to get familiar with your rig and kids loved it. There was also a lot of picnic/bbq area but were not opened due to covid. Also this place seems more catered to dirt bikes with their area being much larger. Still had fun though

I am so fed up when my friends and acquaintances bust my balls for lifting my Tacoma and throwing on some 33" tires. I love all things automotive and in my younger days, I was into little rice rockets and wasted way too much money on those. I've now grown up and have gotten into a mature motorsport.I'd love to go on actual trails with the family one day, but for now, I limit myself to controlled SVRAs. Carnegie is great because it's close to home and it's only $5 to get in. Yes, the 4x4 play area is on the smaller side, but it does the job when you just wanna get a little dirty. They actually have some technical climbs, and I'll leave those to the Rubicons wearing 37s. For now, I can get over the hills and some of the mud pits and sand traps. It's great to stretch the legs and get the differentials going.If you got a dirt bike or quad (which I plan to get one day), then this place is even more fun. Tons of trails for you guys and everyone seems to have so much fun here. When driving around the park, watch out for the little kiddos riding. It's crazy to see 10 years olds on little bikes riding around. Good for them!Looks like there are a bunch of restrooms around, but I never got a chance to use them. I'll def be back!

Carnegie is a great facility -- they have several different tracks for all levels and vehicle types, a small shop, camping sites, and plenty of room to spread out.We have 2 young beginner riders, so we spend our time mainly on the children's/beginner's tracks. We like that they are more challenging than a simple round-about, but still small enough where we can run out to them when they occasionally take a spill. Carnegie is a little out of the way for us, but worth the drive. You can't beat the cheap entry, bathroom's are kept very clean, and the Rangers are great. The roads are unpaved, so be prepared to get dusty, even just as a spectator. I do wish the Rangers kept a better eye on the bikes that enter the beginner's track though. Sometimes the older kids ride into the small kid's tracks, which are reserved for 70ccs and 110ccs and below.It's not a big deal, just a bit intimidating for my 4 year old when the big, fast bikes ride up behind him.

Had an awesome time at the off road area. Wasn't huge but great for a noob off-roadie like me. Didn't need to deflate tires. Was just good fun. Park rangers were nice. People were respectful. Will be back!

I went here on a sunday, and though it seemed crowded in the parking area, the trails were not congested. Super fun.

Very nice facility. Lots of shade structures and picnic tables. The bathrooms were clean and the area was well maintained. I can only talk about the 4x4 area. The area is quite small. A hill, several crawling areas and a mud pit. Good place for a 4x4 beginner to get the feel for a vehicle. The rangers were friendly and visible.

Had a great experience. Took my Jeep into the mud pit which was fun but mainly went to try and teach my son on his 50cc Honda. We will be back hopefully sooner than later.

9/10 would highly recommend I have been going here for 5 years and I love it, the motocross track needs to get a change but otherwise great

Great place to visit, just make sure you pre correctly to visit. Tons of water and food required.

Good trails. I came here for a little bit and I really love it I would recommend this place with nearby
