America's Best ATV Riding
May 11, 2009 by Tom Kaiser
We’re doing a story in the upcoming (July) issue of ATV Magazine about the 25 best (and our favorite) ATV riding areas throughout the country – based on our team’s experience, uniqueness of terrain, quality of the trails, regional amenities and miles of available OHV riding.
Some of the locations on the list include Southern California’s Imperial Sand Dunes (of course!), New Mexico’s Carson National Forest, Grand Lake, Colorado, Coal Creek in Tennessee and the Upper Peninsula of Michigan – among 20 others.
Where do you all recommend? What are your favorite riding areas, and why? We are always looking for new places to check out, so comment or e-mail and let us know where you like to ride.
Follow the conversation at the ATV Magazine/ATV Sport forum at www.atvmagonline.com/forum.cfm.

Utah has to be on of those on the list. And I would say Moab, Paiute Trail, San Rafael Swell just to name a few.
If your talking Utah, you have to include 5 miles of hell, of course that is not really an ATV friendly trail but definately a challenge.
Hey man .Im from PA working in North Dakota pipelining from canadian border to Oklahoma. North Dakota is 4wheelen heaven. The laws are in our favor, you can ride thru town , all the bar ditchs and gravel roads. You can ride to where you go trail riding. Wahalla ND. has trails galor ,thru Pembina george. Every one is freindlyand will show new trails, You got to try it. Revolutions motor sports in Grand Forks sponsors all kinds quad races. Likr I said check out atv laws ,an Wahalla on map. Awsome. Man I wish your show was on every nite. We are a 4 wheelin family from PA. When we here that pa accent ,we get home sick. Have a blessed day. Sincerly Bill Stone
Wow. Where to begin. Certainly in Colorado two areas worth checking out are Hartman Rocks southwest of Gunnison and Rabbit Valley west of Fruita. Both are desert riding, but the later has scenic red rock formations above the Colorado River.
And, in Florida, you can’t miss the new trail systems throughout the Ocala National Forest that replace the old Big Scrub ATV riding area.
Alpine, Wyoming. Just south of Yellowstone. You can ride through town, and there are miles of trails through a canyon along a river where you can see many elk, and other wildlife, sometimes closer than you want to. (if you are going too fast around corners!) very scenic! also have rentals right in town.
