The Owyhee and Bruneau Field Offices 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.

OHV Route Designations in the Bruneau Field Office
All motorized vehicles should use existing routes, or use designated routes where they’ve been established. To protect wildlife, reduce erosion, and prevent the spread of weeds, please don’t travel cross-country or create new vehicle tracks. See the following maps of motorized vehicle use desginations and restrictions on public land in Owyhee County by big game hunt unit. Hunt Unit 40 | Hunt Unit 41 | Hunt Unit 42.
The Bruneau Field Office is currently preparing a Resource Management Plan that will establish more detailed OHV designations throughout the field office.
