The Prospect OHV Trail System lies on the Prospect Ranger District of the Rogue River National Forest. Trails are well signed, mapped, and provide a full range of difficulty from easiest to most difficult. There are four staging areas, and one designated play area. It provides approximately 219 miles of trail for casual family use covering about 125,00 acres, and ranging in elevation from 2600 to 6300 feet.
Portions of the trail system are designed for Class I ATV’s (quads), Class II ATV’s (more than 50” in width, or more than 800 lbs), and Class III ATV’s (motorcycles less than 50” in width). It is important to note that the Prospect system is not an OHV park. Off-Highway-Vehicles are allowed on designated routes and areas only during specified times. Any OHV’s traveling off the designated routes or during the closed season for any purpose will be considered in violation. The trails are also open to other uses such as horses, mountain bikes, and other recreationists. Please watch for others and ride sharefully.
The trail system is open July 1 through October 15. It is comprised of approximately 213 miles of trail and shared-use forest roads (roads that are open to both OHV’s and public traffic). The Woodruff Play Area is open between June 15 through November 30. The play area contains a sandpit, and approximately 6 miles of trail opportunities including a moto-cross track, and a learner’s loop (both open to Class I and Class III only). However, the play area falls within the Prospect Green Dot Area, which restricts motor vehicle access to designated roads during elk hunting season. The play area is closed during this ten-day season in late October. During the season, some trails may be periodically closed for maintenance or reconstruction.
