Radar Hill OHV Area
Saturday, December 23, 2023
| Other Names | Harney County, Burns Butte, Kitty Litter Pit, Potter Peak, Radar Base |
| Last Known Status | Open |
This high desert offroad area has around 22 miles of marked, rated and looped trails. This area is open year-round but the best time to visit is during the spring and fall months since the trails can get very dry and dusty. The terrain mainly consists of hard packed trails that wind through sage brush and scattered juniper trees. Recent improvements include the addition of a vault toilet and loading ramps.
