Other Names

Pinenut Rd, Buckeye Creek, Douglas County Model Airplane Field, Ruhenstroth Access

Last Known Status

Open

This area consists mainly of rolling hills, sand washes, and a variety of ATV trails with mountain views. There is an OHV info box at the main entrance of the staging area, however at the time of this writing the BLM was still working on a map of the area. The main staging area is fairly large with some small jumps and plenty of room for young riders to test their skills.
