Trail Overview

Snag is one of the longer dirt bike trails in the Mount Emily Recreation Area, winding through the forest for 3.5 miles with constant tight turns. It can be ridden in either direction and will be very similar either way. The trail is mostly smooth dirt, not too narrow, flowing through the scenic forest of ponderosa, lodgepole pine, and Douglas fir. It's fast and easy, but you have to keep your eyes up for the sudden sharp corners or oncoming traffic. Be advised that there are a couple of road crossings as well. The trail starts and ends at intersections with the longer Dead Bull single-track as well, which you can continue on to for similar riding.

Access Description

The Mount Emily Recreation Area (MERA) is located on Foxhill Road, north of the town of La Grande, Oregon. The road to access the staging area is a graded dirt road, but it has a 17% grade, so be prepared for a steep climb up to the parking area. There is a large staging area and campground at the south end of the trail system. This trail system accesses several SxS trails for vehicles 65 inches or less, plus single-track and 4x4 trails, and allows two-way traffic, and is well-marked and family-friendly. There is a youth riding area with a kids' track south of the staging area.
