OHV, ATV and Motorcycle use
Black Rock Country has a myriad of opportunities for off-highway vehicle (OHV) and all terrain vehicle (ATV) touring and exploration. Over 800 miles of primitive roads provide access to even the most remote corners of the NCA.
Follow the Applegate National Historic Trail to experience the sights and terrains that challenged thousands of emigrants in the mid-1800’s. The Trails West Organization publishes a very informative self-guided tour book for the trail. Test your skills and equipment with a ride through High Rock Canyon, which requires 4-WD and skilled driving. Zoom across the flat and barren Black Rock Desert Playa (dry lakebed), following the tracks of the land speed record holder. Whatever your interest, there is an opportunity for you.
Will Roger shares his thoughts on OHV use here.
Recreate Responsibly
Please remember your access to public lands depends on your ability to recreate responsibly. Please honor the Tread Lightly! pledge and follow OHV regulations to protect your recreation opportunities. Off-highway vehicles are allowed on the flat, un-vegetated parts of the playa and on 800 miles of designated primitive trails elsewhere in Black Rock-High Rock Country. This includes designated roads surrounding wilderness areas and cherry stem roads that dead end in wilderness areas.
The dunes surrounding the playa are off limits to motorized travel.
