Trail Overview
The "Tot Lot" is a small dirt bike track for kids. There is a bench seat for the adult who wants a place to sit while they watch the kids. There are signs clearly posted that this is not a race track. There is no passing on the "Tot Lot." There is also a sign at the entrance that shows you what direction of the flow of traffic. There is parking right next to the "Tot Lot" so having all the gear and the kids' stuff is pretty easy. Pop up a shade tent and let the kids have at it. For the adults, the beginner track or the "Sand Training Area" is a great place to check out with the bikes.
History
Located in Carson City, Prison Hill is a beloved mixed-use recreation area catering to a variety of outdoor enthusiasts. The northern section is reserved for non-motorized activities like hiking, mountain biking, and equestrian use, while the southern portion is dedicated to off-highway vehicle (OHV) recreation. The motorized area has been recently enhanced through a collaborative effort by the Open Space Division of Carson City Parks, Recreation & Open Space Department, the National Off-Highway Vehicle Conservation Council (NOHVCC), and funding partners, including the Recreational Trails Program (Nevada State Parks), the Off-Highway Vehicle Program, and numerous volunteers.
