New track in Parowan Utah needs your help!

Edited Date/Time 7/18/2025 3:30pm

Paroworx Off Road Park needs your help.

For years the adjacent property owner has been blocking and trying to limit public access on Jackrabbit Ridge Rd. This is the public road that is just south of the Paroworx property and is the only legal access to the track. Recorded on his property deed is a 66ft wide public easement that Iron County refuses to recognize. Many years ago I started legal proceedings so that the courts may determine what is a safe and reasonable width for Jackrabbit Ridge Rd. We are about to proceed to trial on this matter and we need the public's help.


 

What I need from each person is an email with the following.

Full name (first and last name)

Your address (your full address)

phone number (area code and number)

In your own words a description about how difficult it is to enter Jackrabbit Ridge Rd from Kane Springs road where the first gate is. Talk about the problems you experience getting though the 10ft wide opening at the gate. How unsafe this width currently is and how unsafe It will be if there is a fence the entire 1 mile of access. Your pictures are also welcome of your vehicles trying to travel in the 10ft wide area.


 

Please send all your letters and pictures to my email: paroworx@gmail.com

The adjacent property owner will continue to install metal fencing the entire length of Jack Rabbit Ridge Road similar to the cattle coral at the entrance to Jackrabbit Ridge Rd if we do nothing. Is that what you want?


 

Please review the deed attachments. The only way to win this is to produce evidence to the courts that supports the need for a road wider than 10 feet.


 

Thank you for your time in this matter, The Paroworx Off Road Park.

Guys we need serious help and the moto community doesn’t seem to care. If we don’t get enough emails the county will not open the road and we will have to shut down for good. This has been an 8 year battle. We’ve put our hearts and soul into this place. This is the last chance we have!! We need emails from people complaining about the width of the road as pictured above with the trailer. Utah motocross is dead and what we have been able to built has been a dream come true for myself and the local community. We need more emails! When it matters this community comes together and does great things. Currently I am not getting any kind of response of emails from vital nor am I getting many from Facebook. Please help us out!!

Supporting you guys from afar. Every track is critical to the existence of this sport. If we don't fight for it, we will all get shut down.

I just sent you the email I promised.  I sent it from my YouTube channel's email address in the hopes that the almost 33,000,000 views and the number of subscribers perhaps give it a bit more weight when it is considered. 

Thank you!  Your efforts are very much acknowledged and appreciated and ill be praying for you guys.

AI is your friend, maybe post something that people can just sign.  Hard to believe that you are getting hassled in the middle of nowhere.

I don't believe it's lack of interest.  Most all of us want to support tracks.

The confusion for me is how to help.  I've never been to the track (I live in So Cal), so I can't comment on how difficult it is to get into the track.

What else can we put in the email that would help with the county?

I agree and I had some difficulty in what to write when I had not yet been there. 

Here's a portion of what I wrote if it helps anyone else who would be willing to assist the track as well. 

 

I've tried multiple online direction & way finding apps such as Google Maps and WAZE to see if any of them offer a better route into and out of the area.  The area I am most concerned with are the Kane Springs access road, the Jackrabbit Ridge road and quite possibly the most concerning is the width of the access gate and danger of damaging my vehicles & equipment that is posed accessing Jackrabbit Ridge road from Kane Springs road.
 
When you have a chance can you please let me know if there are any more easily accessible routes into and out of your riding area.  Alternatively, if none exist I will continue to monitor your Facebook page for any updates you are able to make to make accessing the area a bit more accomodating and will remain eager to make a visit just as soon as a better option exists.

If I were you I'd be directly contacting your in-state neighbors at Rocky Mountain ATV/MC in Payson.  They should have a vested interest in helping you stay open. I'm guessing you could get a lot of input from their employees.
You might also consider having a free ride day with the only stipulation being that everyone has to sign a letter and take a photo of their rig entering the property.

Seems crazy that the county doesn’t recognize the easement but the letter from the county clearly states that any restriction to the road could result in criminal charges. 

I think that ultimately it may be advantageous to find someone who has had their vehicle/trailer damaged by the fence/gates and file suit for damages. Enough of those and it may convince them to remove the obstruction.

Dirt bag tactic(what I'm about to say, not what you said) but it would be a real shame if someone got hurt due to the seemingly illegal fencing/posts and decided to sue said owner, county, and everyone who has been negligent in enforcing a clear law. Real shame that would be

That might seem like a dirt bag tactic, but I suppose that there’s times when you’re wrestling a very ornery pig, you just have to get down in the muddy shit with them…..

Email sent. Anyone who wants to send an email here is mine. Copy and paste or change a few words to make it your own. 

To Whom It May Concern,

I am writing to urgently request the widening of the access gate at Jackrabbit Ridge Road from Kane Springs Road, currently restricted to a 10-foot-wide opening, to improve safety and accessibility for vehicles heading to the motocross track. This narrow gate creates significant challenges and hazards, particularly for the growing community of motocross enthusiasts, and a proposed fence along the 1-mile access road would worsen these issues. I outline the problems below and propose immediate action to ensure safe access for all users.

Navigating the 10-foot-wide gate is extremely difficult, especially for vehicles like pickup trucks with trailers, which are common for transporting motocross bikes. The tight opening requires precise alignment, often leading to delays, vehicle damage, or near-collisions with the gateposts. This is particularly hazardous during peak times, such as weekends, when multiple vehicles access the track, increasing congestion and the risk of accidents. The narrow gate also poses a critical barrier for emergency vehicles, which may struggle to reach the track in case of injuries—a serious concern given the high-energy nature of motocross events.

If a fence is installed along the entire 1-mile access road without widening the gate or road, safety risks will escalate. A fenced corridor would eliminate space for vehicles to pull over or pass, potentially trapping drivers in emergencies like wildfires or medical evacuations. The narrow road would also make it nearly impossible for two vehicles to navigate safely, forcing dangerous reversing maneuvers over long distances. These conditions threaten not only motocross participants but also other visitors and emergency responders.

The motocross track at Jackrabbit Ridge Road is a vital community asset, attracting riders and families who contribute to local recreation and tourism. Ensuring safe access is essential to supporting this growing activity. I respectfully request that the gate be widened to at least 16–20 feet to accommodate larger vehicles and improve turning safety, in line with standard rural road guidelines. Additionally, I recommend widening key sections of the access road and adding pull-off areas to facilitate safe passing and emergency access. If a fence is planned, periodic openings should be included to maintain flexibility.

Thank you for your attention to this matter,

Truly trying to make an amazing quality track for the community and those out west. We have big plans and aren’t stopping until we are the biggest, and best track in Utah! We are very focused on our prep job making sure it’s watered perfect and ripped deep! Our instagram is @ParowroxMXPark for those of you who would like to follow along with the progress!

Hey Mods, pin this please. The fight to maintain our rights to ride should be taken seriously regardless of location. This thread deserves high engagement.
