If the regular run of the mill ATV ride makes your eyes glaze over and bores you to tears, you need to try a run at Utah's Poison Creek Trail on your ATV.
The Poison Creek OHV Route is located in the Escalante District of the Dixie National Forest just southeast of the town of Antimony. The ATV trail here is rather steep and climbs steadily in altitude. As you ride your ATV up the trail you will see everything from rounded boulders scattered among cliffs of Quaking Aspens and then to high open Alpine meadows. You will then encounter a fork im the ATV trail and you will have to choose if you want to continue on to Poison Creek or go towardsOtter, Grass, and Trail Lakes routes on your ATV.
As the Poison Creek ATV route continues to climb in altitude toward the Griffin Top, be sure to stop and look behind you to take in the outstanding views of the mountains and plateaus extending in nearly every direction around you.
After this point, the ATV trail begins a descent towards the trailhead as you've looped around on the ATV trail. There is some caution that needs to be practiced on the descent as the soil is loose and rocky and there isn't a lot of good grip for your tires. Inexperienced riders shouldn't attempt this, however ATV riders with a lot of good handling skills and lots of experience with this type of terrain will definitely enjoy the descent.
At the bottom of the ATV trail there is a metal gate that leads to a short trail and then ends at some private land, please be respectful of private lands when riding your ATV. Leave gates and other effects as you found them.
This ATV trail can be treacherous during the winter months as deep snow make parts of this ATV trail nearly impossible to travel through. Otherwise, this is a great and challenging ride for your ATV!
