Along with the breathtaking ridges, the dense patches of aspen
and other foliage, and the sweeping, slick and rocky terrain make
for a varied and challenging ride. Obtain a season pass, or take
a guided ride through one or more of the trail systems. Camping,
hiking, and fishing is encouraged, so turn your riding experience
here into an extended stay. There are ATV-friendly towns that
surround the system, so take a ride into town on your quad if you
need anything.
Also known as Glamis, the Imperial Dunes in Brawley, CA are
both impressive in size and scenery. The unique sand dunes
provide a once-in-a-lifetime riding experience. The Imperial
Dunes are somewhat famous, as they are a site where some of
the Star Wars films were made. Dune buggies are common to
ride here. Thousands of riders can be seen in the dunes, enjoy-
ing the terrain and the scenery. However, don’t expect to fish or
sightsee in the area; most flora and fauna have vanished from
the dunes. Glamis is strictly for testing your ride skills in the sand.
You can, however, set up camp in designated areas. The Imperial
Dunes are easily accessible, so a day trip is feasible. Just over a
40-mile stretch, the dunes are unlike anything you’ve ever seen
before. The recreation area offers tours, rentals, and several
nearby towns will provide means for a night’s stay.
The Cumberland Mountain Trails, located in Tennessee, are
also known for being one of the most popular trail systems in the
country. There are several major resorts within the surrounding
areas that cater to ATV riding adventures, including the famous
Brimstone Recreation. The trails are beautiful; located throughout
the state and in the Heart of Appalachia, you’ll find that the terrain
can be quite challenging, but also breathtaking. You’ll want to
pack a bag and stay a while at one of the resorts because this
trail system will easily fill your entire weekend with the best riding
memories of your life. There are over 300 miles of OHV trails in
Brimstone alone, so make your way to the Volunteer State and
book your stay for your chance to hit the best of them.
Whether you’re looking for a family-friendly destination to enjoy
a fun weekend of riding, or you’re searching for the ultimate off-
roading adventure, you’ll want to make sure you check out these
trails. Get up and gas up, it’s time to ride!
The outskirts are okay, but if you enter the
parks, you’ll be breaking the rules, so
make sure you have a map on hand. The
4WD trails are where you want to stay, and
you can pretty much ride anything here,
from a four-wheeler to a Jeep.
The Paiute ATV Trail System, also located
in Utah, is a riding enthusiast’s dream.
Paiute offers over 900 miles of ground to
cover, and most of the trails are family-
friendly. The highest ridge is just 11,000
feet, and once you reach it, you’ll be able
to see a complete view of almost 100
miles of area.
