If you are lucky enough to live in Utah or you are going to be riding your ATV anytime soon in the State of Utah, make the Patton ATV Trails a must ride destination. These trails are located around Manti Canyon. The staging area for the ATV trail is approx 3 miles up from the canyon.
At the staging area, you will find plenty of parking, pit toilets and a detailed map of the ATV trail. Make full use of these facilities, they are the only ones you will find for miles around!
A lot of the ATV trail has dual use as a sheep trail - if you encounter herds of sheep on the trail, kill the engine on your ATV and let them pass you. The ATV trail has some steep places that give experienced ATVers the challenge they love in their ride and the soil is composed of mostly loose shell.
There are several ATV trails in this area of the canyon and they all eventually lead to the valley below or inter-connect to one another. Many of the other ATV trails interlink into Patton. Don't be surprised to see other ATVers doing loops on the trails. If you enjoy good scenery on your ATV trail rides, then you are in for a real treat. This trail winds its way through beautiful groves of Aspens and Pines; there is also abundant wildlife in the area that is most active in the early evening and early morning hours.
