The Paiute ATV Trail Committee
Welcomes you to
Piute County & the World's Premier ATV Trail

ATV Riders will find an enormous variety of riding opportunities along the Paiute ATV Trail. The number 01 trail is a 278 mile loop that crosses mountain ranges, rugged canyons, and deserts in south central Utah. With hundreds of side trails, cross loops and interconnections with other trail systems, and secondary roads. The Paiute Trail system forms a literal spider web estimated to exceed 2,400 miles covering most of Piute County. This unique trail system has been rated by some publications as the best family oriented trail system in the Country, and declared the largest recreation facility on Earth. Unique also is the cooperative involvement of the Forest Service, Bureau of Land Management, State Parks and Recreation, Cities, Counties the State of Utah, and the General Public in the oversight and administration of trail system.

With the diverse terrain and climate, riders can experience the thrill of descending from above tree line to dense forests, stopping constantly to take photos of scenic vistas and diverse wildlife. It's not unusual to se herds of deer, huge elk, or even a not so cuddly porcupine waddle across the road, or encounter an ill tempered badger, (give the wildlife ample room and don't tease them). Fishing is plentiful, and accessible from the Paiute Trail. There are numerous reservoirs, streams, and tributaries in Piute County that contain fish. Piute Reservoir and Otter Creek Reservoir are the two largest and provide some of Utah's best fishing. Manning, and Upper and Lower Box Creek also prove to be excellent producers. Barney Lake is more secluded and great for fly fishing. Hundreds of small unimproved camp spots dot the trail system, and camping is permitted, but check locally for burn regulations if you need a campfire. Small propane cook stoves and lanterns are recommended, your a long way from help should afire get out of hand.

Contrary to many rumors, the Paiute ATV Trail is Side X Side (UTV) friendly. The massive nature of the trail system allows for hundreds if not thousands of miles of trail that are open to vehicles wider than 50 in. Granted there are many 50 in. restricted trails that are ATV only, one should not worry about ample places to ride their UTV and experience some of the greatest scenery of earth.

Riders can enter the Paiute ATV Trail at any point, there is no beginning or end. Most of the towns on the trail system permit ATV's on designated streets so riders can go directly from lodging or RV parks to the trail. Also, those who have spent a weary day on the trail can drive directly to services such as restaurants, gas stations, convenience stores and most importantly a clean restroom and hot shower.
