Petersville Road is a rugged, old mining road that is a popular destination for dirtbike riders, offering a 34- to 45-mile scenic journey. The trail is mostly hard-packed, with a few steep hills and water crossings, and can get muddy after rain. While the initial sections are beginner-friendly, the trail becomes more challenging and remote further along. The trail offers spectacular mountain and canyon views, with occasional views of Denali.
This is a multi-use area that allows all vehicle types. The trail is free to access and is not marked, though the notes mention it is lightly maintained. Camping is permitted in numerous pullouts along the side of the road.Dirt Bike Trail System
