| DESCRIPTION |
This large trail system has three staging areas. Maps are available at each staging area in a tube on the sign posts. OHV's are permitted on the connecting roadway (Bald Mountain Rd.) and you can ride from one staging area to another. Most trails are tight and twisty forest trails, and there is a wide range of difficulty, from smooth and flat, to steep and crusty. The area is not very crowded but there are no developed campsites in OHV area, so no fires are permitted during burn season. The developed campgrounds are 5-10 miles away to the north and don't allow OHV direct trail access. The pictures speak for themselves on this one. Simply put, this is a great place to ride for all skill levels. The Applegate Roughriders are very active in maintaining the trail system.
