The trails were fast and well-groomed. I like to see my off-road sticker money being used to keep up these areas. Camping for free was nice. People please continue to clean up and be responsible. Nothing too technical, fast in areas and a little dusty but I expected that. If you like high speed whooped out stuff it's there also. Not too many areas that have this diverse of terrain and weather. It does git a bit cool when the sun sets. Dogs water froze solid over night. Be back next spring for sure.

Open camping with fire pits and picnic tables, pretty spread out for the most part. Occasionally a select 1 or 2 will run their generators all night, while you can hear them, the spots are spread apart enough it isn't unbearable. Miles of riding and has a kids/learners loop a short distance away

One of my favorite boondocking/riding places. It’s never crowded and crossing another rider on the trails isn’t very common. Love the well marked trails too!!

Great base camp location, right in the middle of Millican Valley, and East Fort Rock OHV riding area.
