Trail Overview

7.5 miles of sandy bottom and high bank turns, the path is constantly changing with the rigs, wind, and rain it sees. Run it at speed or just cruse through and enjoy the scenery. One of the most fun rides in Mesquite from Oasis Blvd to the police academy just North of town.

Permanently Closed
Officially Closed Sign
While most of the wash is open new construction on the south side has reduced access to it. The north side has a cable at the change to city property clearly saying Police Range, no trespassing with the applicable ARS listed. All around this north area is a huge solar farm not shown on the map and many of the trails seen on satellite view no longer exist.

The new construction by the firing range has the wash filled partially in above the range and the sandhill to get by the power station and back on the trail is marked "no trespassing". You'll have to trespass or turn around at that point.

The solar farm going in by the Police shooting range and dump are closing some trails. They are putting in miles of fencing all around the area. As we came out of the wash by shooting range, we came up to this fence line. We were able to follow the fence for a short distance and make it to the road. Not sure if we were legal there as there is a bunch of private property signs all around there.
