The Edison Butte OHV Trail System offers a rugged and technical 25-mile network known for its challenging volcanic terrain. Riders will navigate a demanding surface of loose chunk rock and sharp lava ridges while traversing through a dense ponderosa pine forest. The system, which includes some single-track sections, is defined by its numerous technical climbs and descents. Due to the difficult and rocky nature of the trails, this area is best suited for skilled intermediate to expert riders.
Located west of Bend in the Deschutes National Forest, this system is open to dirt bikes, ATVs, and UTVs. A critical safety consideration is that all trails accommodate two-way traffic, requiring riders to be constantly alert for oncoming vehicles. The park operates on a seasonal schedule, open from April through the end of November, with spring and fall offering the best riding conditions. An Oregon OHV permit is required for all vehicles.Dirt Bike Trail System
