The Telephone Ridge trail system, located in the Boise National Forest near Cascade, Idaho, is a notable destination for dirt bike riders, offering a network of single-track trails and surrounding OHV routes. The riding experience on the main Telephone Ridge Trail (#112) is focused on navigating a narrow single-track with a mix of hard-packed dirt and some loose rock. The trails have a good mix of elevation changes and wind through thick forest scenery.
The area is accessible from multiple trailheads that can accommodate small vehicles, but the Warm Lake Campground and Shoreline Campground are the preferred staging areas for large trailers. OHVs are permitted to enter and exit the campgrounds to access the designated trails. Riders should be aware that the terrain can include muddy sections and roots, and they should be prepared for changing trail conditions.Dirt Bike Trail System
