For the more experienced ATVer, you will enjoy navigating your ATV over the rugged and remote ATV trail as it crosses the Limekiln, Sanford, and Smith drainages.
The scenery on this trail is great too, on your ATV ride you will see red rock cliffs, ponderosa pine forests, and sage flats as you climb in and out of canyons. Elevations range from 7880 feet at Tropic Reservoir to 9030 feet at Smith Canyon and dropping to 6080 in Circleville. If you are an experienced ATVer this will be a lot of fun for you. Some of the canyons can be steep and having a buddy along for the ATV ride with a winch kit wouldn't be a bad idea.
The Fremont Trail will give ATVers over 50 miles between Tropic Reservoir on the Paunsaugunt Plateau and Circleville to ride their machines. There are restroom facilities available for your use at the trailhead. After the Fremont ATV trail travels north from the Tropic Reservoir and crosses Highway 12, the ATV trail becomes very rugged.
If you are a newer or inexperienced ATVer, at Highway 12 may be the point for you to loop around and go back, until you have the confidence and skill to maneuver your ATV through a canyon and the steep slopes leading in and out, it's best to not try it. If you need a place to camp or water, you will find it at King Creek Campground ATVs are allowed ingress/egress only. If you need fuel, food, lodging and camping are available in Panguitch along Hwy 89 and the Red Canyon Area along Hwy 12, where they are very ATV friendly!
