This riding area is mostly service roads, but a great many of them. Some side roads that are a little less tame, and some criss-crossing play areas under the power lines. There are a number of 50” trails that are marked, strictly enforced, and closed from December – April. UTVs are prohibited on them at any time. There are many places to stop and do some target shooting. Expect to see and hear that going on around you.

You can spend days out here wandering around on the many side roads, or make a 100-mile loop of the main roads in a single day. You have many choices regarding to how enjoy this area.
