The Independence Creek Trail System, located within a deep forest, offers a network of single-track trails specifically for dirt bike riders. The riding experience is characterized by a smooth, fast, and narrow flow, with numerous shallow creek and bridge crossings. The terrain is mostly smooth, fast, and narrow, with some sections becoming rutted and rugged. The trails are generally open from April until late September, closing with the first snowfall.
This is a remote and primitive riding area with no amenities, so riders must be completely self-sufficient. The forest is home to numerous wildlife, including badgers, cougars, elk, and black bears, adding to the backcountry feel of the ride. All motorcycles must be street legal and have a current registration to ride on the trails.Dirt Bike Trail System
