ATV Trails In Nebraska

Nebraska has a lot of untamed wilderness to explore on your ATV. There are some great trails and adventure awaiting at each one.

A good place to ride your ATV in Nebraska is the Arcadia Diversion Dam which is is on the Middle Loup River about 8.5 miles upstream from Arcadia, Nebraska. This is part of a project by the Army Corps of Engineers to divert water and minimize flooding. There are abundant trails which althouh worn from use, are not marked. A GPS would be a good idea on your ATV in this area, having a current map of the ATV trails at the very least. The site includes 777 land acres and 109 water acres and is home to pheasant, waterfowl, deer, dove, and squirrel. Be aware you have the potential to run into wildlife at any time during an ATV ride in this area.

Oglala National Grassland and Samuel R. McKelvie National Forest are both great locations to ride your ATVs however they do require that you have a bit more experience due to dips and potential riding hazards like mud. If you're going to ride in these areas make sure that you have a buddy with a working winch on his ATV along for the ride. Even with their challenges these two areas make for a great time riding your ATV.

Make sure to adhere to Nebraska's regulations for OHV vehicles and have your permit prominently displayed and your spark arrestor in place before you ride. And have a great time riding those Nebraska ATV trails.
