The MERUS Adventure Park (TX)

Overland Trail Guides Podcast

The MERUS Adventure Park is a first of its kind off roading and outdoor recreation private park in the Texas Panhandle. Covering 5500 acres and more than 50 miles of off roading trails and 30 miles of hiking and mountain bike trails, MERUS is situated in the rugged and beautiful Palo Duro Canyon, which happens to be second largest canyon complex in the country.
In this episode we talk with Dirk van Reenan, founder of CEO at MERUS about his background as an entpreneur, his vision, and what led him to create the MERUS Adventure Park. We dig into the current state of MERUS, along with the phase 2 plans for MERUS, and even bringing the same model to different locations across the country.

MERUS was created specifically with off roaders and overlanders in mind. Daily visitorship is capped and only 4x4s (no ATVs, UTVs or motos currently allowed) so the park can retain its rugged backcountry charm, while preserving the trails for posterity. And since the trails were purposefully built with off roaders in mind, we've been told they're some of the best trails you'll find anywhere.
