The North Millican Valley lies north of Highway 20, about 24 miles east of Bend and is managed by the Prineville District of the Bureau of Land Management. The 102 miles of trails are well signed and provide a full range of difficulty from easiest to most difficult. Three trailheads/staging areas provide access to the trails. The terrain is typical of the High Desert, with rolling hills covered with sagebrush and juniper trees. The soils are sandy with scattered rock outcrops. The best riding is in the spring or fall when there is moisture. Elevation in the North Millican Valley ranges from 3300-4200 feet.
The trails system provides opportunities for Class I, Class II and Class III ATVs. Of the 102 miles of trails, 24 are open to all three classes of ATV's the rest are specifically designed for Class I and Class III ATV's which are ATV's (quads or three-wheelers) and motorcycles less than 50" wide. North Millican Valley is not an OHV park. Off-highway vehicles are allowed on designated routes and areas only. If it is not signed as open, it is closed. Non-street legal motorcycles and ATV's are only permitted on Shared Use Roads. All other roads are closed. The trails are open to horses, mountain bikes and other recreationists so please ride sharefully.
North Millican Valley OHV Area is part of the Deer Winter Range and therefore is closed from December 1 through April 30. During the summer, hot, dry conditions may close the area due to extreme fire conditions. Individual trails may be temporarily closed for maintenance and reconstruction or to provide resource protection.
