Tex Plex Park, Midlothian

At TexPlex Park, motocross bikes zip across 300 acres of dusty Texas land, a custom-designed course that covers about twice as much ground as the average dirt-bike path. UTVs manned by pro drivers traverse the same space, giving one passenger at a time an off-road thrill to remember. Elsewhere at the thousand-acre park, cyclists power through slopestyle trails and pump tracks in a show of speed and agility. In a 2,000-foot canal, hydroplaning jet boats speed across the water, and in a 10-acre pit, visitors man roaming bulldozers and excavators for an adventurous detour from everyday life.
