Riding ATV Trails In Utah

Utah features many, many ATV trails, so many in fact, it would be impossible to list them all here. But we're going to highlight a few of the best ATV trails to get your ride on.

In the Manti-La-Sal National Forest there are over 350 miles of ATV trails. Get a map and bring your GPS, these trails are winding and don't loop around in many areas, so getting your bearings lost is a possibility in these dense surroundings. This is a great ride for anyone that loves a lot of twists and turns and narrow pathways. You must wear a DOT approved helmet, and have a muffler and spark arrestor installed on your ATV to ride in this area, and bring a friend along for the ride, it's not only more fun with a buddy, it's good sense to never ride your ATV alone.

Beaver Creek Trail in the Uintah Mountains follows the creek and is a very challenging trail. Bring a buddy with a winch kit installed on their ATV as there are many opportunities to get stuck on the steep hills and in mud.

Bullion Canyon is a great place for beginning ATV riders. There are trails that wind through the aspen and pine forests and there is also a historical drive through Old Bullion City.

Burnt Hill Road is good for the beginning ATV rider who is ready for a little more challenge. This trail is mostly well maintained but there are a few spots of over growth and some steep grades where you can learn to use your low gear. Five Mile Pass is great for the experienced ATV rider. This riding area has many gullies and mines that are hard to see until you are literally right on top of them. You'll be sharing this popular spot with motorcyclists and mountain bikers so drive carefully.

Knolls OHV Area has over 35,000 acres of sand dunes, hills and mud flats. A great place for the beginner to learn ATV handling techniques on different terrains and just a great ride for the experienced ATV rider. Poison Spider Mesa is aptly named, this popular area in the Moab area has slick rock, sand and steep challenging grades but nothing low gear can't handle. A little something for every ATV rider awaits you in Utah!
