Trail Map

Other Names

Boulder City, Boulder Rifle Pistol Club, Lake Mead National Recreation Area

Last Known Status

Open

This area has a large motocross track with good lips and some huge doubles with hard packed landings that carry a heavy penalty. The rest of the area consists of a large variety of dirt mounds and some easy side trails that wind through the power line towers.

RV owners should note that there is no clearly designated staging area and most turnarounds are fairly small and tight. In general, this area is more appealing to the aspiring motocross star than it is to the casual trail rider.
