Elbe Hills ORV Area is well known to be very muddy, with deep ruts created by the heavy jeeps and trucks that frequent the area. This can be very challenging for UTVs and ATVs, but it is still passable. Most of the trails are not far off of the main service roads through the area, so you can turn back and bypass something if it’s too rough. There are only about 8 miles of official trail, but there are so many side tracks it will keep you busy most of the day, especially if you encounter 4×4 traffic.

Most of the trails are pretty much the same, but Swamp and Gotcha trails have some logs set up as obstacles, which can be pretty fun.
