Howdy from Oklahoma and welcome to the forum. I go to southern Louisiana sometimes, just for the cuisine. 👍 🍻

There are a few places to ride, but most are just mud holes.
Zona ATV in Franklinton, LA is the closest for you. Lot of mud/water and not really big, but great people that run the place. I usually just run the perimeter trail and pull people out. Very clean showers, bathrooms, etc.
Tower Trax is a lot bigger but a ton of mud and not as well kept as Zona. Only been here twice and only with my ATV. Not my cup of tea.
Kisatchie trails are great, but they are technically "50" restricted". Sandstone trail is probably the best trail in the state. It is only open during the summer months. Livingston trails were fun on my ATV, but it would be a lot of tight turns in a SXS and there are a couple bridges you have to illegally bypass in a machine wider than 55" or so.
Sicily Island has some extreme trails. Not big at all, but probably the only place in the state with actual rock. It's $50 whether you go for one day or all weekend.
Sabine ATV park looks like it might be pretty good but I've never been.
There are a few other mud parks around that I haven't been to.
I just looked it up it’s about 8 hrs to Mena and about 9 to Ride Royal Blue, guess I need to plan to drive a while. It’s about 4.5 to sandstone and about the same to Sabine.Yeah, we have very limited trails here. Usually we ride at Sandstone, Enduro, and Camp Livingston. Those areas were all closed after Hurricane Laura and may be open sometime this year (2021). We have never had width problems with Rangers so far. Do not go to Clairbourne at Forest Hill over 50" wide!!! You won't get through gates out of the parking lot. And the trails were terrible the last time I went there.
Sandstone has wide bridges and are all easily passable by larger machines. Camp Livingston has narrow bridges but all can be bypassed.
Sabine ATV Park in Burkeville, Texas near the southern end of Toledo Bend is surprisingly fun for trail riding. You don't have to play in all the mud.
Other than that, I recommend you make the trip to Mena, AR where the entire area is ATV friendly! It's worth the drive for mountain trails.
I wish if I hadn’t already booked a vacation for the week following I’d be all over that. Stupid question? How would a fully stock machine do there?You should plan on going to takeover in june at Royal Blue. This year will be our first trip there and for takeover. Have 9 people and 7 machines going as of now. I can't wait to go riding again!
