Here is a press release for a grand opening of a newly revamped and expanded trail system. Me and Team MGR have the pleasure of organizing the ATV Scavenger hunt. About a year ago I wrote an article looking back at this area and the potential progress made leading up to this event.
Back to the old stomping grounds, Harlan County Nebraska
Here is a video of the trail BEFORE the expansion, the trail is completely different now.

When the name Harlan comes up it always messes with me cuz I think of Harlan, KY. Its a town though and lots of people ride there especially the Jeep & Rock buggy guys. They have a off road park that is just awesome and has me wanting to build a Rock buggy.
