Trail Map

Other Names

Clay Peak, Payette County, Clay Peaks MX, Clays Peak

Last Known Status

Open

Open daily from dawn to dusk, this area offers miles of desert trails along with several makeshift motocross tracks. The side trails are mostly hard pack but there are some sections that are very sandy.

The parking lot is large and flat and has a vault toilet and some spectator bleachers but there is no shade or water so come prepared. There is no fee to ride here but machines must display a current OHV sticker. The park is only open during daylight hours and camping is not permitted.
