Sutton Bluff Recreation Area is a campground with a 45-mile trail system of long loops that are open to motorcycles, ATVs, and UTVs with a maximum width of 50 inches. The trails are marked and rated and range from easy to most difficult. The terrain is mostly hard-packed, with some loose dirt, mud, and a few rocks. There are few single-track trails, but the trails follow forested ridge tops and cross deep hollows. The park is best suited for intermediate riders, with some terrain for beginners and a small amount for experts.
The campground has 35 sites, with both electric and non-electric options available. The park has restrooms and showers, and camping is available on a first-come, first-served basis. A Forest Service Trail Use Permit is required to ride, and ATV riders need a separate county permit. The trail is closed to Jeeps.Dirt Bike Trail System
