ABOUT:

Prairie State 4 Wheel Drive Inc. was founded in April 1980, when a group of dedicated four wheelers assembled together. The club was founded to organize trail rides and promote safe, environmentally friendly four wheeling.  These individuals were determined to make four wheeling an enjoyable family pastime.  Since this humble beginning many areas previously open to four wheeling adventure have been either devoured by the "urban building binge" or simply closed.  As the areas available have decreased we have seen an increase in irresponsible off roading, either trespassing on marked property or destroying the land that is still available.  This is typically the uninformed individual who has no idea of the consequences of their actions.  We at PRAIRIE STATE are trying to keep land, both public and private, open and available for four wheeling, by working with land owners and public officials, and promoting responsible four wheeling.  Adoption of the Tread Lightly program, staying on marked trails, not abusing the environment and education of individuals interested in exploring the back woods of America is the only way to keep our sport alive.
