Anyone on here from KY or any neighboring states? Starting to throw some pins at the map for somewhere new, not liking the trend that South FL is heading.
Im not too demanding for entertainment, but ideally is there a good amount of tracks around the state? Heathy off-road/harescramble series? Fishing/Hunting good up there?

Riding here sucks. The tracks are super 'okay' and most of your track owners are only open for racing/intermittent riding. It's not like Orlando mx where there's a schedule or anything and they stick to it. The dirt is awful and there's a golden window of riding where its not a mudpit, but not hard pack yet. I'm not trying to be discouraging, I love riding more than ever and I have a purpose built transport setup that allows me to pack light and travel far at the drop of a dime. I've seen more of the south than I ever thought I would and I have a total blast doing it for dirt cheap and the camping and travel aspect is so much fun. I just don't want you to think you're going to come blast berms and have the ocala national forest to play in, because that's not it. Offroading here is seen as what I would call "unanimously acceptable" and there are plenty of places to ride. I only ride moto, so I end up in TN, KY, AL, IL, GA, MS, IN, and even down into florida. Tracks include Leisure time MX, FMX Paradise, R3 Motoworx, Echo valley mx LLC, Lincoln Trail MX, and many others.
I know some others that are into off-road that will probably stop in. Hunting and fishing? Best in the country with long seasons. Some of the best gun laws around, okay cost of living, not too many green hair types, and I think the reddest state in America actually. If you wanna know more you can send me a message.
Start checking out "Land Between the Lakes"
Like actually dead serious lol. I am in Nashville, every single track is 2+ hours away and to be honest most of them that are around are not good to say the least. Most of the tracks around here are very tight, hard pack, and hardly any of them do any real "prep" or water throughout the day. I mean seriously its usually too dusty to even be behind someone after the first session of the day.
Most of the track owners are nice dudes who mean well but yeah the tracks are just not it and there are very few of them around.

I am in the middle of considering a move to the Bristol area or at worst, Knoxville. I have been trying to figure out what will happen to my MX life. I am a track only guy, I believe it is basically Muddy Creek, or heading to NC as I understand it for 'better' public tracks?
As it is now where l live, all tracks are 1-3 hours away, two great tracks within 2 hours, nothing within 1 hour so I am traveling no matter what so I am used to that. Sad that 20 years ago, I had 3 or so tracks within 30 minutes, all housing now
What it lacks in moto (among other things) it makes up for with dirt cheap cost of living and enough space to do what you want.
They have an area qualifier yearly in the Spring, good people - Central KY

Thank you for the heads up response.
I do know some around Nashville that go to Alabama to race
Ohio would be my 2nd choice in the great lakes area. They have a good amount of tracks and offroad options.
As for me, I'm in Indiana which is okay for moto but 80% of my riding time is done in Michigan and Ohio.
