Trail Overview

Backyard is a short dirt bike trail that connects Bart to Bird Pole. It's about a half mile long, and follows a narrow single track across the base of rolling desert hills, on a smooth surface of packed small loose rocks, dipping into small ravines as it flows over the rolling hills. Watch out for sudden washouts or ravines across the trail, as this terrain is ever-changing with moisture and erosion. There is a narrow bridge crossing elevated over one of the deeper ravines. The trail ends on the north end when it comes to an intersection with Bird Pole.

Access Description

There are several dirt bike trails within the Laguna Hills trail system near Fortuna Foothills, Arizona. There isn't a formal staging area, but riders can access the trails through the system of roads north of the canal. There are a couple of parking and staging options. On the east side of the trail system, you can park at the west end of Adair Park Road and enter the trail system at the levee. There are several small camp spots along the canal on the levee road. On the northwest side of the trail system, you can also enter at the other levee (from South Laguna Dam Road), and you'll find easy dispersed camping here as well. You can also access this trail system from Mittry Lake, which is a popular spot for camping as well.
