Lucky are the ATVers in this area of Utah as there are thousands of miles of 4 wheel drive routes in Grand and San Juan counties. These routes now provide recreational opportunities for jeepers, ATVers and motorcyclists. Most of the routes used by ATVs and other off road vehicles are unmaintained and questionable safety in riding relics from mining or prospecting for minerals.
Some ATV routes are used in current mining and grazing activities, and major access roads receive some maintenance from the county. Others are repaired just enough to get through, and provide every sort of trail driving condition, from the easy for beginners to the extremely challenging for those of you that need a little something extra in your day of ATV riding.
A few rules of the road you need to know before using this ATV riding area:
Children under the age of 8 are NOT allowed to operate off-highway vehicles.
Children from the ages of 8 to 16 must possess an OHV education certificate.
All drivers and passengers under 18 years of age must wear a helmet.
OHV's must display a current OHV registration sticker.
All OHV's must have a spark arrester.
The ATV trails themselves are primitive in nature and barely marked so following an ATV trail may be a little bit of a challenge for a newer ATVer. Make sure that you have a map with you and even better, a GPS on your ATV.
Most of this trail is well withing the technical skill of nearly all ATVers with the exception of Poison Spider trail which can be treacherous with its very steep inclines.
Moab Area ATV Trails have a lot of fun to offer up you and your ATV driving buddies, come out and play as soon as you can!
