CALENDAR OF EVENTS
Four wheeling provides the opportunity to get off the pavement, in to nature and build friendships and family traditions. We host a variety of events ranging from novice level green-laning to challenging local and long distance 4WD adventures that will test your strategy, stamina and skill.
Additionally, we organize road trips to other national Land Rover rallies, fall leaf tours, guided weekend fly-fishing and sport shooting retreats, an annual picnic with family camping (a 20+ year tradition), ice driving challenges, car shows, drive-in movie dates and more. All of our trail events are on dedicated private land or state land that is authorized for off road motor sport recreation. We DO NOT condone off trail riding, trespassing on state closed trails or destruction of natural resources.
Here are just some of the upcoming MNLR recreational off-roading and social events:

Last Trail Ride of the Season |
|
Oh, the end of the season brings such sorrow. Luckily, we have social events right through the winter, so this doesn't have to be a long goodbye. The last ride of the season is planned for the hardy only as we usually encounter snow and ice on the trail. This can prove to be challenging and fun but not for the faint at heart. Vehicle damage and a few late night recovery hours spent on the trail have been legendary. Hoteling it makes it do-able for those wives who detest camping and the kids always like getting rowdy at the pool. This event is for Land Rovers only and is open to guests. More information to come as it becomes available. |
