Minden Off-Road Park.

Family-run off-road park with 14+ km of custom trails on 131 acres for Jeep, ATV, SXS and 4WD vehicles in Haliburton County

01 — About

The brief.

Minden Off-Road Park is a family-run, 131-acre private trail park on County Road 121 in Minden, Ontario, in the southern Haliburton highlands. Founded in 2020 by Scott and Kate-lynn, the park operates more than 14 kilometres of custom trails for Jeep, ATV, side-by-side, and four-wheel-drive vehicles, with difficulty rated from Difficult and Challenging through Tough and a Mud Bog tread-at-own-risk zone — no beginner trails, as the terrain includes exposed rock that requires off-road experience. Trails are open 365 days a year with day visits from 9am to 8pm, and the park sits at the centre of the Haliburton ATV Association's 1,700+ km regional network. On-site accommodations, an air compressor and wash station, and a seasonal food truck round out the property.
