The Sheridan Mountain/Smith Mesa OHV Trail System, situated in the Prescott National Forest, offers a network of long and challenging ATV double-track loops. The trails wind through a forested area of pinyon-juniper woodland and chaparral, providing riders with panoramic views and the opportunity to spot local wildlife. While many of the trails are manageable, some sections are rugged and can be relentlessly rocky, requiring riders to be prepared for a bumpy ride.
This remote trail system does not have any developed recreation sites or amenities. There are no restrooms or potable water sources, so riders must be self-sufficient and bring their own supplies, especially water during the hot summer months. The area is best for those seeking solitude and a true backcountry experience. The nearest primitive camping is available at Camp Wood, but it does not offer any facilities. The area also includes a variety of other trails, though detailed information on them may be limited.Dirt Bike Trail System
