Burning Rock Off-Road Park places the safety of trail users and the quality of experience of the trail system as top priorities. In order to maintain an acceptable standard of safety and an acceptable quality of experience for its visitors, Burning Rock Off-Road Park has determined that Vendors who provide tours and/or rent ATV’s or other vehicles for use on the trail system must meet a minimum standard of service.
Business’s not adhering to the vendor service regulations will lose their rights conduct any part of their business within the boundaries of Burning Rock Off-Road Park and will not be permitted to advertise on the Burning Rock Off Road Park web site. In the instance of ATV Rentals and Tours, the provider must price this service at a level that will allow for the continued upkeep of vehicles and safety devices, as well as liability insurance, adequate payment of trained tour guides, training for tour guides, training for customers, trail passes for customers, outfitting gear for customers, adequate replacement equipment, emergency retrieval equipment, first aid equipment and training (of guides), general maintenance of transportation equipment, fuel, and the rental of a dedicated parking and take out area for the ATV rental vendor. While the various vendors need to be competitive, the competition should not be permitted to have a detrimental effect on the above mentioned items. Burning Rock Off-Road Park has conducted interviews of the existing vendors who service the Hatfield McCoy Trail System and has established a price guide sheet for all certified vendors. All Certified Vendors are required to charge the minimum amount established by Burning Rock without any deductions for any circumstance.
