Paiute ATV Trail System
Thursday, December 12, 2024
| Other Names | Piaute ATV Trail System, Pauite Trails, Webers Piute Trails Inn, Piute ATV Trail, Otter Creek State Park, Otter Creek Reservoir Recreation Area, Fishlake National Forest, Tushar Mountains, Pahvant Range, Sevier Plateau, Castle Rock Campground, Clear Creek Canyon |
| Last Known Status | Open |
The Paiute ATV Trail System consists of over 250 marked and well maintained trails with access to over 2,000 interconnecting ATV trails. Staging opportunities are numerous and range from secluded primitive campgrounds to full RV parks; many with direct access to the Paiute trail.
Most of the towns that surround the trail system allow ATV use on the streets to access the trailheads. The trails cross three different mountain ranges and go through everything from desert type terrain to deep forest vegetation. July through the middle of October are the preferred times to explore the Paiute as the weather is slightly cooler and the tree leaves are changing to fall colors.
