The trail heads east along the Duncan Creek drainage toward the White Mountains National Recreation Area, climbing gently for the first ten miles, then more steeply for the next three. The BLM does not recommend the trail for OHV's in the summer due to "wet boggy" conditions, and they rate the trail as a moderate difficulty. The trail leads to Wolf Run Cabin, which was burned in a fire in 2005, but the BLM plans to rebuild it soon.

Location

Apache Trail is a 200 mile paved scenic byway loop that starts from Apache Junction and connects Hwy 88 to I-60 back to Apache Junction. After passing Tortilla Flat, (near mile marker 23) the road turns into a well-maintained dirt road that continues for 22 miles toward Roosevelt Dam. Superstition wilderness, Four Peaks Wilderness, Three Bears Wildlife Area and portions of the Tonto National Forest surround this loop, making it a very scenic drive. There are some OHV trails in this general area, but note that Apache Trail itself is not an ATV/Motorcycle trail, it is a paved road. There are plenty of hiking and equestrian trails, camping, boating, rafting and sightseeing opportunities such as the Tonto National Monument which offers guided tours along the preserved cliff dwellings of the ancient Saledo civilization. RVs and vehicles hauling long trailers should avoid this route, as there are many blind spots and narrow sections.

Location

Many miles of trails that lead to historic mines, buildings and panoramic views can be found in this high desert area. There are two campgrounds to choose from, each offering direct trail acess.

Location

About 68 miles of marked and rated trails can be found at this popular OHV area. Terrain consists of hardpacked sections, sandy washes to steep ridgeline trails. An Adventure Pass is required to ride or camp in this location.

Location

This high desert area offers about six miles of ATV trails and 62 miles of surrounding jeep trails. Most of the trails are dusty with loose rocks however the Joshua Tree trail is smooth, fast and has many berms. The main staging area is large and amenities include a loading ramp, vault toilets and trail maps but no shade. An Adventure Pass is required to camp or ride here and can be purchased at the nearby Lucerne Valley Market or at the local ranger stations.

Location

Located in the Tahoe National Forest, this is the northern section of a three-part area that is surrounded by three reservoirs; Boca Reservoir, Prosser Reservoir and Stampede Reservoir. The trails here are 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 there are plenty of camping opportunities in this area, and nearby Prosser Hill OHV (to the west of 89) has additional trails.

Location

This large network of over 100 miles of connecting forest roads is best for ATVs and novice riders. Most roads are fast, wide and smooth, with some rocky sections here and there, but you can cover a lot of ground quickly. There are no services at the main staging area, but the campsites are decent and there is no fee.

Location

The trails along the west side of Boca Reservoir are a great place to take a beginner. With nothing too challenging and a host of boating, fishing and swimming opportunities, it's a pretty good place to bring all the family toys. There is some single track in the connecting areas, but mostly just wide trails and dirt roads surround the campgrounds and day-use areas which line the lakeshore. This area connects directly to Prosser Pits to the west, Billy Hill OHV route and Stampede Reservoir to the north, and even Verdi Peak and Bull Ranch Creek (Dog Valley/Long Valley) to the northeast if you are looking for more challenging trails. The area caters more towards the boating crowd than to OHVs but if you are heading out to the lake anyway, why not bring the bikes too?

Location

This area offers about 40 miles of marked trails for motorcycles and 140 miles of forest roads open to motorcycles, ATVs, and 4x4s. A primitive camping area near Spring Gap offers trail access, parking and vault toilets. Dispersed camping is also permitted but there are no other services. Note that these trails are often closed during winter months due to snow. For additional information you can contact the Stanislaus National Forest - Mi-wok Ranger District.

The smaller dunes next to the highway are ideal for beginners.

Location

This area offers a network of mostly motorcycle-only woods trails of a wide range of difficulty. The trails are very dusty in the summer, with some roots and whoops, switchback climbs, water crossings, and rock beds. The main staging area is simple, but shady and pleasant, with a few campsites, restrooms, and a map kiosk. There is no fee for camping or riding. If you are looking for a weekend trip, this is a very good choice.

Location

Location

The main staging area is primitive, with just a vault toilet and an information kiosk with a box of maps (often empty). The trails offer some cool bridges and winding brush tunnels, but some parts may not be accessable anymore. They've been changing and closing off areas for some time now. The area has some great trails, but it has now become a bit over-regulated, with the frequent closures. In 2008 it was closed for the first half of the year, but this varies. Always call before you haul at this place.

Location

This area offers about 30 miles of ATV and motorcycle trails. The trails are very dusty in the summer but are generally pretty smooth, providing a great opportunity to introduce a novice to some deep woods riding without the sticky technical stuff. The main staging area is at Five Corners, and primitive campsites are scattered throughout the area (and also at nearby Elkins Flat.) Family/OHV oriented PiPi Campground is just up the road, with 51 sites along the creek at $18/night, but you cannot access the trails directly. You must trailer out each day to ride. The whole area is mobbed on weekends, and reservations are strongly recommended for PiPi campground. (877) 444-6777
