Evansville MX Park

Evansville MX Park sits on the Berwick side of Columbia County, and the pitch the operators lead with says it best: they're the only natural-terrain motocross track in Pennsylvania. No imported dirt, no rebuilt jumps. The hills the bike climbs are the hills that were already there.

For local riders out of Berwick, Bloomsburg, Hazleton, Wilkes-Barre, and Williamsport, the property is the closest dedicated motocross venue with a Saturday night supercross-under-the-lights program. Most of northeast PA's track options are daytime-only on rough fairgrounds dirt. Evansville's lighting changes the equation if you want race-day atmosphere without a daylight cutoff.

Same property also runs a 7-mile hare scramble loop, which means the dual-discipline crowd, motocross rider on Saturday, woods bike on Sunday, can do both without towing somewhere else. Useful if you're trying to round out a weekend without the truck logistics of two destinations.

The schedule is event-based rather than open-practice. Check the calendar at evansvillemxpark.com before driving. Route 11 is the corridor in, easy run from either I-80 or I-81 depending on where you're coming from.

The full spread runs four distinct footprints across the valley: the main natural-terrain motocross course with its massive sweeping turns and fast straights, a fully illuminated stadium-style supercross track that carries the Saturday night race series (dirt bikes, ATVs, pit bikes, and STACYC classes all welcome), a rugged 7 mile hare scramble loop through the surrounding hillsides, and an isolated pee-wee track for kids and STACYC beginners. The hare scramble side makes Evansville an anchor venue for the AMA District 6 State Cross Country Championship Series. Wednesday night supercross practice runs 4:30 to 8:30 for bikes and quads at $30, race entries average $35 a class with a $20 annual club membership, and race-night spectating costs $10 cash (ages 10 and up, $5 for 4 to 9). Chest protectors are mandatory for all youth competitors, and the grounds carry permanent restrooms, grandstands, open grass pit parking, and wheelchair-accessible facilities.
