If you like getting down and dirty on your ATV when you ride, the Thompson Creek trails located in northwest Colorado have a great time waiting for you and your favorite group of ATVers.
Thompson Creek road in Thompson Creek is an access point to several trails including Mid Thompson, South Branch of Mid Thompson, and Dexter Park. Splash your ATV across the many streams as you steer through the Aspen Groves. You will travel through a National Forest and also some private land, all of which is home to fascinating wildlife.
These are multi-use trails and at the beginning of the trail, your ATV might share the road with bicyclists and horseback riders and 2WD vehicles. That is, until you reach the stream that crosses at Middle Thompson. Here your ATV leaves those 2WD vehicles in the dust (or mud in Thompson Creek's case) because only 4WD vehicles are allowed beyond this point. It does get very wet and very soggy when it rains, so be prepared for mud as rain and sudden thunderstorms are a common occurrence during the riding season.
The length of FDR #305 is 12.1 miles long while FDR #306 is 6.3 miles long. The use of Thompson Creek is fairly moderate, however, after your ATV crosses the stream at Middle Thompson, traffic decreases significantly. Be sure to let your pals know where you are traveling in case anything happens while riding your ATV, best bet: give them a copy of the map you're using to plot your ride so they know the routes you're planning on taking.
