Carter Off-Road Park, located in Alexander, is an off-road adventure playground for riding and racing ATVs and trucks through mud and over obstacles. Helmets are recommended but not required, although glass bottles are strictly prohibited. A large sign at the entrance declares that attendees must “sign waiver and pay here.” The park will host Carterfest Thursday though Sunday this week.
The park is located in both Pulaski and Saline Counties.
