The UPM Trail is a 21-mile system of wide and easy trails that wind through a dense mixed hardwood forest. The terrain is mostly hard-packed with some loose dirt and a few water crossings. The trail has no single track, steep hills, jumps, or berms. The trail system is best suited for beginners, with a little intermediate-level terrain.
The trails are open to motorcycles, ATVs, and UTVs with a maximum width of 65 inches. Jeeps are prohibited. A large, flat parking area provides direct access to the trail system. Camping is available in some areas at Cook Lake, which has a picnic area and fire pit.Dirt Bike Trail System
