After you've ridden to your heart's content, don't forget to check out all of the other great activities offered. Fishing, hunting, shooting ranges, sporting clays-you will never get bored. Take a dip in one of the swimming holes or hang out in the lodge and watch a supercross or other sporting event on the big-screen television in front of the wood-burning fireplace. Relax at night with a group of people hanging out by a bonfire while sipping on your beverage of choice. End the evening watching a movie in your cabin and resting up for another day of heart-pumping entertainment.
There is never a reason to leave the plantation, as its staff is happy to supply any need you may have. Durhamtown has worked hard to create an on-site pro shop for riders with everything from gear to parts for their quads or bikes. If it does not have what you need, the crew is happy to order it for you. Oh, and I should mention there is a large selection with killer prices and deals on everything in stock. You can let worries of your machine breaking down fly out the window, because the shop has experienced mechanics who can get you up and running in no time. Let the mechanics do their magic while you take a little R&R and prepare to head back out onto your dirt playground.
