History

With over 50 miles of trail, the Corral Canyon OHV trails and roads traverse through beautiful scenery and challenging terrain. Trails in this area can vary in elevation and difficulty from 3,400 feet at Corral Canyon Campground to 4,169 feet at Bronco Peak. Off-highway vehicle recreation is just one of the many uses allowed on the National Forest. Off-Highway Vehicle Route Markers are found on designated OHV trails. On these markers, you will find signs and decals designating the type of use recommended, level of difficulty, and system number which corresponds to the map and guide. The OHV guide/map may be obtained at any forest office. Markers with signs or decals with a red slash mean the route is closed to that type of use. The trails have a unique feel to them, with sharp turns, fast brush tunnels, and several sections of solid rock. The rock formations are popular with 4x4 off-road enthusiasts.
