Located within Cleveland National Forest near the Mexican border east of San Diego, the Corral Canyon OHV Area features 51 miles of diverse off-road routes suitable for both novice and experienced riders. The trail system showcases varied terrain including challenging singletrack sections, granite slabs, and chaparral-covered slopes with significant elevation changes ranging from easy access roads to extremely difficult technical routes. Dirt bike enthusiasts will encounter distinctive features such as rapid brush-lined passages, sharp bermed corners, and exposed rock segments that create an engaging riding experience. Clear trail markers indicate difficulty levels using a color-coded system - green circles for beginner-friendly paths, blue squares for moderate terrain requiring high-clearance vehicles, black diamonds for advanced riders, and double black diamonds for expert-level challenges.
The riding area operates year-round with specific regulations including mandatory California Adventure Pass requirements and OHV registration stickers. Two on-site campgrounds accommodate up to 20 sites on a first-come basis, allowing riders to extend their visit, though facilities lack potable water and campfires are prohibited. The desert and chaparral environment provides scenic backdrops but can become extremely hot, making fall and winter the preferred seasons for extended rides. Vehicle size restrictions apply (50 inches for ATVs, 72 inches for larger vehicles), and all machines must meet noise level requirements of 101 decibels or less with approved spark arrestors.Dirt Bike Trail System
