Description: The recreation area provides many opportunities for use of motorized and non-motorized vehicles in the back country. Signs are normally posted at trailheads and access points which describe whether or not particular vehicles are allowed on the trail. The Chena Hot Springs Winter Trail, which parallels Chena Hot Springs Road, and trails which access back country cabins are color-coded. Colored reflective diamond-shaped trailmarkers and mileposts placed along the trail guide you to your destination. The markers work the same as the mileposts on the highways: as you travel toward a cabin or the hot springs, the markers are on your right. Please familiarize yourself with these markers and which trail they represent. Note that most trails are very wet from May through September. You might sink your vehicle in a peat bog or need to cross a running creek. Be sure your clothing and machine are up to such adventures. Please note that mushers, skiers, and hikers share the trails with off-road vehicles and snowmachines.
