If you have mastered the ATV trails that are rated "easy" and you want a little more of a challenge, check out the Long Hollow Motorized Trail. If you have good basic ATVing skills, you will thoroughly enjoy this trail system on your ATV. |
Although this ATV trail is short at only a little over 5-miles in length and it isn't steep as it only climbs to about 400-feet in elevation, it is a fun ride. You will be sharing this trail with other ATV riders, hikers, motorcyclists, mountain bikers, and snowmobile riders from Winter through the Spring. Be aware of the other types of traffic you might be encountering.
If you have never had the chance to ride your ATV in snowy conditions before, this is a great place to learn. The ATV trails are not too steep and make sure you have someone experienced in navigating on this type of terrain to show you the ropes for rolling your ATV through snow. You'll learn even more handling skills and gain new confidence in your ATV maneuvering abilities.
The ATV trail is a winding trail that joins with several other trails in the area. If you decide at about the halfway point you want to go back, there is a loop around at the Trout Creek intersection that will allow you to go back to the trailhead of Long Hollow. These trails are very narrow and turning around your ATV won't be an option in many areas, use the loop arounds to go back.
As with all Forest Service Managed lands, make sure you have your ATV permit displayed in a clearly visible area on your ATV and make sure that you have your muffler and spark arrestor properly installed before you ride.
Long Hollow is a fun ATVing destination if you're looking for a little more challenge in your next ATV ride!
