Trail Map

Other Names

Fernley MX Track, Fernly MX, Sand Box

Last Known Status

Variable Schedule (open during scheduled event weekends)

This is mostly a local motocross that hosts amateur races. The track changes regularly and is groomed only for races, so it is often dry and hard, with no shade. There is a starting gate, some portable restrooms, and a handful of desert trails in the surrounding valley floor - everything you need, but nothing more.

The track is only open during a scheduled race event, and is not open for regular practice. The main entrance gate is chained and there are "No Tresspassing" signs posted. The area is developed and maintained by the non-profit groups Over the Hill Gang and Nevada Old Timers Motocross Club.
