The Owyhee and Bruneau Field Offices offer outstanding opportunities for a wide range of OHV recreation, including single track for OHV motorcycles and wider trails and two-tracks for ATVs and other motorized vehicles. The BLM has established three OHV trailheads along the Owyhee Front that provide loading ramps, staging areas and restrooms. An extensive trail network radiates from each trailhead.
Cross country travel is only allowed in the small immediate vicinity of the Hemingway Butte OHV Trailhead - do not travel cross-country in other areas.
