The Owyhee Field Office contains outstanding opportunities for a wide range of OHV recreation, including single track for OHV motorcycles and wider trails and two-tracks for ATVs and other motorized vehicles. The most popular area for single track is along the Owyhee Front. The BLM has established three OHV trailheads along the Owyhee Front that provide loading ramps, staging areas and restrooms. An extensive trail network radiates from each trailhead. Because the vast number of routes in this area can be confusing to a visitor, the BLM has prepared a map of the major routes to aid riders. The BLM is in the process of establishing a comprehensive designated trail system in this area, so use existing routes until the trail system is finalized. Do not travel cross-country. Cross country travel is only allowed in the small immediate vicinity of the Hemingway Butte OHV Trailhead.
These trailheads are used primarily by OHV recreationists. Other recreational users are welcome, but be aware of the emphasis of these sites for motorized recreation. The trailheads offer restrooms and loading ranmps, and they provide access to hundreds of miles of roads, moderate to difficult trails and sand washes on steep, rocky terrain.
Directions: Take I-84 to Nampa and exit to Highway 55. Turn onto Highway 78 in Marsing and watch for signs that will direct you to specific trailheads. About 45 miles southwest of Boise.
Trailhead location: Located between the Melba junction and Oreana, on Highway 78.
