A special place created for ATV riders

 
 

SPRAGUEVILLE — Area ATV owners have a new place to ride their vehicles. River Ridge Trails, a scenic 10-mile course overlooking the Maquoketa River, is now open in Spragueville.

Steve Tebbe, who also owns Whispering Meadows Resort on the same property, created the trail to provide area ATV enthusiasts a place to use their vehicles safely and legally.

“In the state of Iowa, it is a challenge to find a place to ride an ATV,” Tebbe said. “This whole area, between here and Dubuque, there’s really no place to ride your bike.”

According to Tebbe, it is illegal to ride an ATV for recreational purposes on a public roadway in the state of Iowa.

“If I didn’t own this property here, I would have to ride my ATV in my back yard,” Tebbe said. “This is just a wooded area, not good for anything else really, so I thought, why don’t I just open it up and make it a place to ride.” For more on this story please visit www.clintonherald.com
