The Fredneck Ranch

The Fredneck Ranch is a 342-acre motocross facility in Frederic, Michigan, up in Crawford County in the northern Lower Peninsula near Grayling. It is operated by BRT Moto as a training ground, and the scale is the story. With this much land, there is room for serious layouts and a real weekend setup rather than a single loop in a field. For riders across northern Michigan, it is a destination worth the drive. The property runs two named motocross tracks, a national-style track and a mini MX track for the youth and minis, plus a hare scramble trail and woods riding when it is scheduled. The MX track is fast enough that the crew posts a benchmark lap time of 2:04, which tells you the national-style layout is built to flow. On the training side, BRT Moto runs organized MX sessions on both tracks with stay-on-site or day-use packages, so it works for everyone from a family weekend to a focused skills block. Camping is part of the deal, with day-use, weekend, and longer-term options, a dump station, and water on site, so you can make a full trip out of it. As a training-focused ranch, much of the riding runs on scheduled sessions and open-practice days rather than a daily walk-up gate, so confirm dates before you haul. See the Fredneck Ranch pages at brtmoto.com for the schedule, training packages, and camping, or call 989-615-5944 before you make the trip north. The Texas connection is worth noting too: BRT Moto also runs a location down in Woodson, Texas, so the same training crew operates on both ends of the country.
