Oregon has a lot of untamed wilderness to ride and Cottage Grove will prove to be a great ride on your 4-wheeler. There are three trails available for off roading. The 4 mile Noonday Wagon Road is open for Class II. Knott Trail is 3.9 miles and Bohemia National Recreation Trail is open only for Class III. Be aware of what class your 4-wheeler is, before you go on any of these trails.
In order to ride your 4-wheeler in Oregon, you must have a permit to ride issued by the Department of Motor Vehicles and this permit must be displayed in a clearly visible place on your 4-wheeler. You must wear your helmet at all times when operating your 4-wheeler. Okay, now that is out of the way, let's talk about the fun things to see on this fabulous destination for you and your 4-wheeler.
Cottage Grove has a little something for everyone in terms of riding. After doing a pre-ride inspection, hop on your 4-wheeler and get to exploring this fantastic venue. There are numerous trails with varying degrees of difficulty. Get a map from the Ranger station and ask if any areas are shut down as various trails are closed and allowed to reclaim themselves and new trails are opened to keep the trails natural and cut down on damage from recreational use.
The trails that are set up are breathtakingly fun to explore, don't go off trail and make any new ones. Oregon has very strict rules for 4-wheeler riders about their "without a trace" program. Meaning after your visit, there should be no trace of your presence. Riding in the early morning hours will yield a wide range of wildlife out foraging for the day's food.
