About Us / History

It starts back in 1992 when Rob Greenlaw and Connie Greenlaw got married and built a beautiful Lindwood home on fifty acres in Brentwood, Ontario. They both work 60 hours a week and in their spare time they raced hare scrambles and motocross races. Rob’s hobby was to own heavy equipment and build a motocross track in his back yard, and that is what he just did. Over the years they had friends and family come and ride at their track and had it insured with the CMA. In 2001 they went to their township to see if they could hold a race. This is where the political battle starts. The township wanted to have the Greenlaws rezone the property.

The Greenlaws decided that if they were going to rezone the property they wanted to rezone property that would be open to the public and have a big impact on the future of off-road riding in southern/central Ontario. The Greenlaws started to look for the right piece of property that would cater to all types of off-road vehicles. They spent some time looking at about 6000 acres before they found the 1000 acres in Burnt River, Ontario. The property was perfect as it covered all three major concerns: noise, environmental issues and traffic. The Greenlaws purchased the property in 2002 and submitted an application to rezone 500 acres. The City of Kawartha Lakes had two public meetings to have the public address their concerns, and the major concern was noise. The Greenlaws hired Areocoustics to conduct a worst case scenario noise study to make sure that the noise would meet Ministry of Environment guidelines at the neighbors’ reception. The noise study passed all receptors. The Greenlaws had a delay when re-election came in 2003 and they had to start dealing with a new city council. Council recommended a licence and a site plan be implemented to the zoning. When said and done, the Greenlaws finally got all approvals to operate an off-road vehicle facility in the Spring of 2005.

They opened April 30th, 2005 and the dream became a reality, and all the time and financial efforts of opening a facility of this type were behind the Greenlaws. They are dedicated to the preservation of off-road and motocross riding in Southern and Central Ontario.

Immediate plans are to complete the motocross race course with the addition of the new Supercross section of the track, which is scheduled to open the June 18th, 2005 weekend, before finishing the start finish loop. The track to date consists of approximately 1400 truck-loads of screened clay based soil.

After completing the motocross track, work will begin on a purpose built ATV race course specifically designed for ATV racing and snow-cross in the winter months.

An off-road trail system is being planned and will be cleared in the next couple of months.

Other work in progress is the completion of the new driveway entrance, which will cut down a large amount of the drive time to the facility from the Ledge Hill Road entrance. This road will be a large graveled base similar to the entrance section currently being used from the Ledge Hill Road entrance.
