Summary


The Upper Lake Ranger District's OHV area (South) offers over 135 miles of system trails and roads traversing through beautiful scenery and challenging terrain. The riding area varies in elevation from 1,600 feet at Middle Creek campground/staging area, to over 4,500 feet at Hull Mountain to the north. The trails range in degree of difficulty from novice to advanced. Due to the nature of the topography on the Upper Lake District Middle Creek Campground is recommended for families with children or beginning riders so they may enjoy the "play area", while adults or intermediate/advanced riders access the trails up out of the East Fork of Middle Creek. If you seek a family riding experience with easy access to all trails ranging in difficulty level from novice to advanced, Penny Pines or Deer Valley Campgrounds are much more desirable. The basin is closed annually from May 18 through September 8 to OHV use. During this closure you are welcome to truck ythe bikes out of the basin and ride the trails (North). Ther
