Burning Rock Offroad Park

Burning Rock Offroad Park covers 10,000 acres in southern West Virginia, and the motocross side of the operation is built around a 1.25-mile professionally designed track with a 90-foot triple jump as the headline feature. Significant natural elevation changes across the layout, the kind of vertical you don't get on flat-state tracks, and that's the local pull: riders in Raleigh County, Beckley, Princeton, and the WV Turnpike corridor have hill country in their backyard, so they may as well use it.

The full motocross footprint is two tracks: the 1.25-mile main plus a dedicated 0.25-mile peewee mini-moto loop, so the family setup works without trading sessions back and forth on one surface. Burning Rock hosts the Southern WV MX championship series, which gives the local race calendar a fixed home venue instead of bouncing between county fairgrounds.

The 10,000-acre Offroad Park footprint is the rest of the story. The motocross tracks are inside a destination-scale off-road property, so cross-discipline riders, woods bike, ATV, side-by-side, can pull in for a weekend without towing somewhere else. Camping on-site means the truck doesn't have to leave the property between sessions.

Near Tams in Raleigh County, easy access from Beckley and the WV Turnpike. (304) 683-9242. Local southern West Virginia riders treat Burning Rock as the regional anchor; the destination crowd comes too, but the schedule serves the local base first.
