The Paiute ATV Trail is South-Central Utah's 900+ mile Paiute
ATV Trail System. A trail system with no beginning and no end, making it the largest in the nation! It passes
through multiple towns and has side trails leading to others. Dirt Wheels magazine rated the Paiute ATV Trail as one
of the top 10 trail systems in the country and many riders consider the Paiute Trail to be the Top US trail system.
The Paiute Trail system is designed to provide an enjoyable recreation ride through fantastic scenery. The trail system
was formed by connecting old roads and trails crossing the Fishlake National Forest with intervening BLM-administered land.
Multiple narrow sections of trail were constructed to complete the interconnecting #01 loop. The main #01 is 238 miles
long, with over 800 miles of marked side trails and an estimated 1900+ miles of additional side forest roads and trails that
are open to ATVs and other recreational vehicles, making the Paiute ATV Trail System the largest in the country.
The Paiute ATV Trail caters to relaxing and family type riding. Riders along the trails enjoy the scenery and
atmosphere of a deeply dense forest, as well as popular activities such as fishing or camping near the path. It is impossible
to put in writing how people must feel as they sit on a ridge at 11,000 feet looking a hundred miles into the distance, or
maneuver their machine through a dense forest on a four-foot-wide trail. The joy and wonder when you see a herd of deer
or elk is hard to describe.
The Riding Season begins every April, when temperatures begin
to rise. That is when people begin to seriously think about the fun of getting out on the trail. While
spring riding is possible on the lower portions of the trail, snowdrifts usually close the trail over the higher trails until
early July. September and October provide some of the best riding weather on the Paiute Trail. August is also
a good time for the high country, even though lower portions of the trail can be hot.
