DESCRIPTION

This trail system offers two staging areas and about 19 miles of ATV trail loops that range in difficulty from challenging to easy. Several scenic points can be accessed from the trails. There are lots of little jumps, but this is a multi-use trail with two-way traffic. Chances are good that you will encounter some mountain bikers.

A Special Recreation Permit is required here which can be purchased at nearby ranger stations and stores. Trails are open to ATVs less than 50" wide, dirtbikes and mountain bikes only. Camping is permitted between the dates of October 1 through November 30 however trailers are not to exceed 16' due to space limitiations at the staging areas. Nearby Otter Creek Campground offers both trailer and tent sites that overlook a creek. Call before you haul.
