The Canfield Mountain Trail System offers about 30 miles of single-track motorcycle trails in a beautiful forest setting. The trails marked with numbers that run north-south present more of a challenge while the trails marked with letters running east-west are fairly mild. The terrain consists of steep drop-offs, rocky sections and scattered tree roots. Look to nearby Coeur d'Alene Lake and Lake Pend Oreille for boating and swimming opportunities.

With over 160 miles of trails on over 60,000 acres, this area offers a good variety of terrain and some spectacular views of the valley. Terrain consists mostly of hard pack and sandy trails winding through the high desert scrub brush with the occasional patch of trees, some shallow water crossings, and some large canyons and sand washes. Most trails range from easy to moderate difficulty. A large portion of the trails are designated as OHM-only (off highway motorcycles) but there is also a network of ATV trails in the southern part of the area which allow OHVs up to 48" wide. Shade is somewhat limited, and the best camping is actually in the designated campgrounds to the north and east of the OHV area. Due to the lack of trees, the area generally thaws by mid April (sooner than most other riding areas) making this a safe choice for a good spring ride.

Independence Creek Trail System is a single-track trail that is surrounded by deep forest with numerous creek crossings. Badgers, cougars, elk and black bear are among the types of wildlife you may encounter. RV's and travel trailers are not recommended because the access road is extremely long and winding and the parking area is small. Boating and swimming opportunities can be found at nearby Lake Pend Oreille and Hayden Lake.

Located in the Clearwater National Forest, the Musselshell OHV area offers single-track motorcycle trails and deep forest scenery.

Located just minutes away from Boise, the Ridge to Rivers Trail System primarily consists of hiking, mountain bike and equestrian trails but offers a few designated OHV loops.

Nearby Lucky Lake Reservoir has a sandy beach, boating and fishing.

Eastern Idaho is home to this 11,000 acre playground of white quartz dunes ranging from 10 feet to 300 feet high. The firm rolling dunes to the east are smaller and better for beginners, while the dunes in the western portion are huge and as steep as they come. The three main campgrounds along the southeastern perimiter offer many full hookup sites, but are sometimes a bit cramped. RV travelers should make reservations well in advance for hookup sites, but there are some dry camp areas as well with chem toilets and no shade. Nearby tourist attractions Yellowstone Park and Grand Teton National Park sit a mere 100 miles to the east.

Thick forest scenery and plenty of single rack and surrounding OHV trails are the main attraction of the Telephone Ridge Trail. Staging can be done at both the Shoreline and Warm Lake campground and OHV's are allowed to enter and exit the campgrounds to access the designated trails.
