The Middle Fork Trail is a popular 10-mile 4x4 trail that offers a moderately difficult riding experience for dirtbike riders. The trail is known for its muddy conditions, with mostly hard-packed terrain, many trees, and some steep hills and water crossings. The trail is best suited for intermediate riders, with some terrain for beginners and experts. It eventually ends at the Gulkana River and is a good option for a day trip.
This BLM trail system is open to all motorized vehicles and is also popular with hikers. The trail provides outstanding views of Paxson Lake and the surrounding hills. It is open to snowmobiles in the winter.Dirt Bike Trail System
