LaDee Flats OHV Area
Monday, April 1, 2024
| Other Names | Mount Hood National Forest, Mt. Hood National Forest, North Fork Quarry OHV Area, Clackamas River Ranger District, La Dee Flats OHV Trails, Squaw Mountain |
| Last Known Status | Open |
This area opened to the public in 2011 and has about 35 miles of designated offroad trails. The trail system mainly consists of one long but rugged forest service road with some side loops that are open to ATVs and dirt bikes. There is also a challenging obstacle course/play area located near the main staging area that has boulders, logs and mud puddles.
There is no designated campground but the most popular place to set up camp is at the gravel pit. The trails are open year-round but may close temporarily during fire season, which usually begins around July. Exact dates vary, so check with the ranger station before heading out.
Be sure to say thanks to Those Guys Off Road and the Lobos Motorcycle Club for all their hard work maintaining, designing and constructing new trails for everyone to enjoy.
