Fordyce Lake is a central location to many gentler, easier places to run ATVs. It is more a family with children type of area. It has plenty of places to run ATVs and places for children to be active. There are lots and lots of hiking available for the adventurous such as the Overland Emigrant Trail, Glacier Lakes Trail, and Beyer's Lake Trail. Several other lakes around Fordyce may be reached easily from a home base. There is Glacier Lake, Jerry Lake, and Lily Pond.
The area is a lake area and has so many lakes, ponds, river's and stream crossings that it is a natural for the water loving ATVer. You can travel further up the mountains as far as you want. The views are all glorious and the terrain is not as rough so everyone of every age in the group will find it pleasant. There is the usual fishing and camping available to do, as well as the ATV activities.
This is a great place to get acquainted with the ATV sport. New drivers, riders or owners can test themselves and their gear in this area with abandon. This is a place where you learn the fun in the ATV experience, and share the fun with others. There are always rules in State and National forests, but they are not invasive to having a good time. ATV use is a sport whose time is here, and the now is at Fordyce Lake. Spend a weekend in the woods.
