The 4.1-mile Bee Canyon OHV Road extends from State Route 74 (east of Cranston Fire Station) to its junction with San Jacinto Ridge OHV Road 5S09, offering dirtbike riders an accessible gateway into the western Idyllwild trail network. Classified as an easy one-way route, this forest service road provides a manageable ride suitable for various skill levels, though the road surface can be rough at times with high clearance vehicles recommended. The trail serves as a connector route, linking riders to more extensive backcountry opportunities including East Indian Creek and San Jacinto Ridge truck trails that eventually lead to Highway 243 and the Idyllwild area.
Located approximately 10 miles east of Hemet within the San Bernardino National Forest, this route attracts both dual-sport motorcyclists and 4x4 enthusiasts seeking forest access. All vehicle types are permitted, though OHV registration or appropriate stickers are required. The area features numerous side canyons and serves multiple recreational purposes, making it a popular staging point for deeper forest exploration. Trail maps and current regulations are available at the Idyllwild Ranger Station.Dirt Bike Trail System
