Billy Hill OHV Route

Monday, January 01, 2024

Other Names

Truckee, Hobart Hills, Stampede Reservoir, Russel Valley, Dry Creek, Dog Valley Rd, Tahoe National Forest, Truckee Ranger District, Boca Reservoir, Prosser Creek Reservoir

Last Known StatusClosed For Season

This part of the Tahoe National Forest is the northernmost section of a three-part area that is surrounded by three reservoirs; Boca Reservoir, Prosser Reservoir and Stampede Reservoir. The trails here consist mostly of mild 4x4 roads but there are also various single track loops if you keep your eyes open (see map).

There is a boat ramp and plenty of camping opportunities in this area. The trails here tie into Boca Reservoir (east) and Prosser Pits (south). For those looking for a challenging single track check out Prosser Hill (to the west of 89).
