Off The Trailer

Trail Overview

"Off The Trailer" is a 22-acre open play area right next to the main staging area. This is a place to test your rig and skills in an open riding zone where you are not constrained to a single trail. The best part about this area is that you are right next to the staging area if anything goes wrong, hence the name "Off The Trailer". You could pretty much roll onto your trailer from most of the obstacles in this area. This open play area has the most beginner obstacles of any of the open play areas in the Prison Hill zone. If it's 10-rated obstacles you're after, this area has that to offer as well. From drops and climbs to V notches down to the most mellow smooth rocks, this area has something to offer most everyone based on their rig and driving ability. Cell coverage is reliable in this area, ensuring you can navigate, communicate, or share your epic photos with ease. Hours and Access: The Prison Hill OHV Area is open daily from dawn to dusk, year-round, and is free to the public. A well-equipped staging area at the south end of the OHV area provides a convenient spot for loading and unloading, complete with a restroom for visitor use. Restrictions: Camping and fires are prohibited within the recreation boundaries. During the summer months, the area may close during Red Flag Warnings issued by the National Weather Service due to extreme fire danger. Always check conditions before heading out to confirm the area is open.
