MX 573 Practice Track

MX 573 Practice Track in Montrose closed in the 2010s. During operating years, the property was a 28-acre private practice operation with a 1.5-mile main track and a separate peewee, with rolling terrain and many jumps featuring by-passes for family riders to scale difficulty as needed. It is retained in this directory for historical reference and regional motocross record.

The 28-acre private practice operational identity during operating years reflected the deliberate operational design. Private practice facilities preserve the dirt for committed regular riders without the casual weekend-warrior traffic patterns that degrade public-access tracks. The private-access model genuinely supported serious training programming during operating cycles.

The 1.5-mile main track length during operating years was sized for serious training programming. Long enough to deliver lap variety and genuine training-rep density; not so long that prep quality fell off in less-trafficked sections.

The rolling terrain layout used existing Susquehanna County terrain rather than relying on imported earthwork for terrain interest. Real elevation variation built into the layout delivered lap profile interest that flat-construction facilities couldn't match.

The many jumps featuring by-passes for family riders is the unusual operational identity that distinguished MX 573 from typical regional facilities. By-pass options on jumps let family riders scale difficulty as needed, the kind of design philosophy that genuinely supported rider development progression rather than locking developing riders into single-difficulty terrain.

The 2010s closure ended the heritage Susquehanna County private practice destination identity. For local riders who used MX 573 Practice Track during operating years, active alternative facilities in the broader Northeast Pennsylvania region include:

Hurricane Hills Sports Center in Greenfield Township, the Northeast PA motocross destination AMA District 34 affiliated with the Hurricane Hills MX Series plus Tri-State Trax Series rounds.

Lost Trails ATV Park in Dunmore, the multi-discipline off-road destination in the broader Pocono Mountains region.

For local riders in the broader Susquehanna County and Northeast Pennsylvania region seeking active motocross facility access, the practical answer is Hurricane Hills Sports Center or Lost Trails ATV Park. Both alternatives deliver active operating programming for current riders.
