Trail Overview

This is one of several easy ATV trails in the Danskin Trail System of the Boise National Forest. On the north end, this one starts in a pine tree forest with a big creek crossing that is deep in parts, as it leaves ATV trail #300. It climbs up to a ridge line with several steep hill climbs. The trail is two-track width on a wide ridge line and cuts across the sides of rolling green hills with wide open grassy meadows. It has wide sweeping turns as it zig-zags up the side of a mountain, and one section of thick branches on an inside corner that makes like a tunnel that you have to go through. The most challenging aspect of this easy ATV trail is that it sometimes has ruts on one side of the trail, making the rider have to pick the high points of the trail, which can be more difficult for an ATV. There are a couple of rogue loose rocks in the trail, but it is mostly a smooth dirt surface and overall an easy ATV trail.

Access Description

The Danskin Trail System covers 60,000 acres and 150 miles of off-road trails in a high desert mountainous terrain. There are three staging areas. Bender Creek Trailhead on the north end, Willow Creek Trailhead on the east end, and Three Point Mountain Trailhead on the west end. This is a very popular riding area, but the trails are so expansive that even when the parking lots are full, you may not run into many people while out riding. The summer is likely very hot and dusty here, so the trails are best in spring and late fall.
