Seems like anymore the risk vs. reward for ANY sort of business involving dealing with the general public is almost impossible to insure reasonably. Im paying north of $8k pr year just for the body shop and storage facility, and still had to jump through hoops and have multiple inspections. Still any lawyer worth their salt is going to find loopholes if enough money is involved in an accident, no matter the waiver or signage. Its a sad state we live in, and its just going to get worse Im afraid. Is there any advantage to some sort of clause stating you have to be a member, whether its a club membership or a member of the riding area itself? Like Rousch Creek, we had to "join" for an additional fee, that has to have some sort of advantage, if nothing else it helps pay for the insurance itself. Also, and I personally hate that it has come to this, but if you hire some sort of "security" to "check" people or keep an eye out for suspicious activity (like Windrock has), that would have to make a difference in the liability.

indeed, it is lame but has come-to that level of failed responsibility that there have to be security or trail-bosses for anything such as this. I was looking into the legal reqs & state regulations for trying to open a park up here & the liability was gonna be the bigger headache than land acquisitioin . Most of us saw Karen & the folks at AOP go thru the BS of what occurs - when that level of protection is not enforced thoroughly -when those two near-recipients of the Darwin Award during CFR19 decided to illegally crash the gate & slip their buggy or sidexside in w/out paying, ultimately costing the park and taxpayers for their stupidity, ntm being lucky to live. It is tough these days, to be sure.

(edit: dude. that is expensive insurance ..had no idea bodyshops had to pay that rate...ridiculous!)

I just got off the phone with National Motorsports, they provide insurance for off-road parks. For this size of of park (which is considered to be a small park to them) insurance would be between $8k to $10k annually. This only covers the trails. So you have to go through a local insurance company to get liability to cover the pavilions and the cabins. I'm guessing this is why we see a lot of parks that has plenty of space for RV or primitive camping and not a lot of cabins.

They will also provide the release waiver for the park.

She made a comment that a lot of the smaller parks don't carry any insurance and rely on waivers alone. I wouldn't go this route but, TN is one of those states that highly enforces waivers and they also have laws in place that provides protection for OHV areas, public and privately owned, against prosecution.

Depending on the county she may have access to all the files online unless you have to go to the courthouse to pull info.
She should still be able to get an evaluation based on satellite info at the least.
