The South Utah AraPeen ATV Trail System is located in south Utah in the Manti-La Sal National Forest. The South Utah AraPeen ATV System contains over 350 miles of ATV and 4X4 routes, with the high point of the system being the scenic 58 mile South Skyline Drive which is a super rugged 4X4 experience that goes from Utah Highway 31 on the north side to the Fishlake National Forest boundary on the south side.
The ATV trails in this area are well marked and much used. There is not a lot of overgrowth on any of the trails due to the extreme amount of use these trails receive. Do stay on the designated trails, the forest service will write you a hefty fine if you go trail blazing and it can also be very dangerous as off the ATV trails are trails located for 4x4 automobiles and if they aren't expecting to see anyone riding an ATV on the trails meant for 4x4 jeeps and trucks only, you could be injured.
Routes on the South Utah AraPeen ATV Trail System include sections that are passable only by ATVs, along with some other sections where ATVs share the usage of the forest roads. These ATV routes are shared by hikers, mountain bikes and horses, so be sure to be aware of the other types of traffic you can encounter on these ATV trails. Being a responsible ATVer around horseback riders is a must. If you are being approached by a horse and rider, pull your ATV over and kill your engine until they have passed, you never know what might spook a horse and you certainly don't want to be the cause of it.
The Arapeen Trail System is a great way to spend a day on your ATV exploring the natural beauty of Southern Utah.
