About
River Ridge Motocross is one of Arkansas' oldest motocross tracks, set on about 40 acres of natural terrain along Highway 5 South a few miles south of Norfork, in Baxter County (north-central Arkansas). The long, fast main course has natural elevation changes and several large tabletops over rich loamy soil mixed with sand and clay, and the property also has a quarter-mile flat track and an RC car track, with mature trees and primitive on-site camping. The track allows both practice and racing and is typically open Sundays from 11am to dark for dirt bikes and ATVs (a permit and MX helmet are required). It is a host venue for the Arkansas State Championship Series.
