Located in the Mojave Desert, the El Mirage Dry Lake Recreational Area provides an awesome ATV adventure that will meet the needs of both beginners and experienced ATVers alike.
Amazing, diverse terrain gives this recreation area a thumbs up for ATV experiences. The contrast of mountains and desert gives extremely high summer temperatures - reaching up to 120 degrees. With that kind of high heat, the cool breezes created by ATV treks keeps you cool and energized. Don't be surprised by brief, unexpected and powerful summer thunderstorms that creep up at a moments notice. They don't last long, and actually help keep the ATV enthusiasts cool.
El Mirage is a unique ATV experience that makes it a prime destination for many tourists and especially those with a passion for ATV riding. The flat lake bed with mountains all around, provides great opportunities for rock climbing and collecting, hiking, and wildlife observation. The El Mirage is even home to an endangered species, the desert tortoise. Consider camping here on your next ATV outing, and enjoy all the area has to offer.
It is a good idea to learn about the area in which you will ride your ATV, before tackling the terrain. Whether the area is public or private, be sure that you have permission and that you understand any restrictions. Get maps, if available, and keep your ATV on trails if they exist.
With its combination of flat and sloping areas, the El Mirage Recreation Area is often host to great competitive racing events. You can feed your need for speed and excitement by taking your turn cruising the ATV trails, and then sit back and enjoy the races.
As a 24,000 acre land mass located in the Desert Circle, El Mirage attracts many motorized and non motorized recreationists. ATVers, motorcyclists, and aircraft enthusiasts flock to try out the rolling hills and diverse terrain.
