Motoland

Motoland in Kingsbury, Indiana is a 43-acre bikes-only motocross park built on the grounds of a WWII-era ordnance factory, a backstory you will not find at any purpose-built track.

Five tracks split riders by skill level and bike size. Tracks 1 and 2 serve A, B, C, and Mini classes. Tracks 3 and 4 handle Mini A, B, and C plus pit bikes and beginners, and a dedicated Peewee track takes care of the youngest riders. That separation means a family with riders at different levels can all be on dirt at the same time instead of waiting on each other.

The layouts work in 25 feet of elevation change using the site's own topography rather than relying on imported, built-up jumps. Five bike wash areas are spread across the property, where most regional tracks run one or two, a sign the place is set up for full riding weekends rather than quick sessions.

Motoland is bikes only, which keeps the traffic patterns predictable and the focus on the motorcycle crowd. Primitive camping is allowed on practice dates for anyone making a weekend of it.

For riders in LaPorte County and Northwest Indiana (Kingsbury, La Porte, Michigan City, Valparaiso, South Bend, Goshen, Elkhart, Hammond, Gary, and the I-94 and I-80 corridors), Motoland is an easy regular stop. Chicago metro riders head east for the five-track variety, and Grand Rapids and western Michigan riders come south for the same reason. therealmotoland.com for the schedule.
